Light
Twilight
If you wait long enough in New York City ... someone will probably steal
your camera. So maybe it is best to just shoot in whatever light you can find.
Here I used the fill flash on my point & shoot camera.
Below the town of Bomarzo, Italy (1.5 hours north of
Rome). This was the park of the 16th century Villa Orsini
and is filled with grotesque sculptures. Rollei 6008, Fuji
Velvia, Zeiss 50mm lens, tripod. Probably f/22 and 1
second. Note that part of the foreground is unsharp. There
wasn't quite enough depth of field. Note that the
composition completely excludes the uninteresting overcast
sky.
Left: Vermont, where a little
white sky pokes through.
Right: California where the
weather is often too sunny
for good forest photography.
