Day-for-Night


These images are from my first round of tests trying out the day-for-night effect in my back alley. The process is pretty easy - white balance temperature between 3000k and 3200k (around incandescent temperature) and underexposed by about 3 stops or more depending on what's being shot. This worked in some instances and less in others as I think these two pictures show (with, I thought, the top one looking less moonlight than the second). I need to try this out with graduated ND filters too to block out that pesky sky. It's all good though, and i've only trodden in dog crap and been stung by neetles a few hundred times. Scientists were right, doc leaves do nothing.

Glad I suggested this blog it should be interesting !!

The 2nd one does look more like night. I can tell from these early tries though that it should work well. Looking forward to more :-)
