Darkness Descends On Us Next Week


There’s nothing like putting your feet up at the end of a long day and watching the sun go down with something cool to drink.

 
Here’s another shot taken with the P-300 on full automatic although I did use the EV adjustment dial to overexpose 1 ½ stops to help balance out the inside and outside light intensities. I also tried to use the built in flash for fill flash but kept getting glare on the window.

I also just realized that this weekend we switch back to standard time. No more daylight savings time means sunset at about 5 pm and severe limitations on photographic adventures, at least for old single aperture/single shutter speed cameras and the Holga.

I can still shoot available light with fast film in the 35mm and the digital seems to like night shots. I have been toying with the idea of mounting a flash in the Holga to see how that works out. Some versions of the Holga come with a built in flash and a color wheel for special effects.

Of course there’s still the weekends; lots of daylight available there, but don’t be surprised if you start seeing more nigh time shots posted here.
