Five Minute Difference

It just blows my mind how much lighting can change is such a small amount of time. I was downtown shooting some landscapes of the city lights and I kid you not, these images were taken within 5 minutes of each other. What a huge difference!

  1. Very nice blues Josh. Do you use any type of starburst filters? I was wondering if they were worth buying?

  2. I've had the same experience with sundowns. There one second and zip, gone into never never land the next. Cool photos.

  3. thanks for the comments guys, nope no starburst filters were harmed in the making of these pictures, just a 50mm f1.8 stopped down to around f8

  4. Gorgeous images, and wow, the lighting did change! I've had things I wanted to photograph disappear on me for just that reason - a certain color of light against just the right pre-twilight sky, etc.

    They were taken about 5-10 minutes apart. Completely different lighting.

  6. These are beautiful. I love natural light shots. I've noticed the same thing, even with my simple digital camera.
