Early and late Light shooting

Post by Peter Betts »

I love pre sunrise photography as you get no Shadows but I have to watch grainy images at this time so manually set ISO to 100 in those days (64 these days) and open my fav Power Wild life lens 70-200 f2.8 to max aperture and its bright and noise free..I wouldnt know how to even try and get rid of noise when reducing pics for posting such is the lack of my post processing knowlege

Hopefully this young female is looking at a better 2021 just like I am >> taken 15 mins before the sun peered over the horizon ..will need a click again to get the lovely Golden light of pre sunrise

Happy New Year Folks ..this one was taken early but 10 mins after actual sunrise and already the Kalahari was pumping harsh light down into the Nossob Riverbed >> Harsh shadows galore so early in the day 07h40 !!at Kij Kij.Straight out the camera RAW File converted to Jpeg, Reduced for posting and signed ..Done..my philosophy more time behind the camera Please Click the image otherwise the Flat Profile I shoot in makes it dull if you dont

Apologies for the Noise but 3 years ago I used a D500 (Crop Factor Camera instead of my normal Full Frame Sensored Camera ) = Bad move
