FCC Print Competition

Leave a reply

Time for the Foyle Camera Club monthly print competition. Entries have to be for the 21st August. Originally this month was supposed to be on the Theme of HDR (High Dynamic Range), but as a lot of members don’t know a lot about it, it was changed to an open round. I’ve an image in mind, so I must make sure it’s sent in.

I’ll post the image here after the competition is over with the position I came. I don’t expect to be near the top, as long as I don’t came last..lol.

Update (03/09/11) : As I mentioned above, I said I’d post my image when the competition is over. Well, I initially had a different pic in mind for the competition, but at the last-minute changed my mind and entered another. Below is the image I entered. Oh…BTW – I won this months competition with this image. A good boost for my confidence.

Long Exposures at Fahan Pier

Leave a reply

After a long day at work, I decide to go and take some photos to unwind. I ended up in Fahan, down at the old pier. It was getting late and I’ve always want to try to take some photos of it, when it was getting dark. Luckily the tide was out.

So, wellies on, and down I went and set up my tripod. As it was getting dark, it was kinda hard to get a focus on anything. I tried different time periods from 30 secs to 2 minutes for the exposures with varying results.

Below is one of the images I took (probably the best one). If you’re interested, take a look at my Flickr account for a few more images. A bit more practice is required – but it’s all about learning.
