Starting a new "mini-" series if you will here. This one was done in February 12th, as I had a night walk to the nearby traffic light (carrying my tripod and camera), planning to do some long exposures. Generally speaking, the results weren't up to my expectations, but I managed to salvage some shots.<br>
For this shoot, I've used Voigtländer 20mm, coupled with a variable ND filter (yes, ND, at night, for long exposure), and "Starry Night" filter from Kenko. This filter is supposedly used to reduce the light pollution, and seems awkward to use it in such situations, but I just wanted to try, since I've never used this one before even though I got it months ago. This filter also has a bluish tint, and I had to set the white balance properly (using WB correction tool); and despite all of that, processing the images in terms of colors was a bit of a task, especially in terms of the color halos (or bleeding), which eventually, I had to make peace with! The exposure for this one was about 7 minutes. What's strange though, cars didn't pass by much when I shoot such long exposures, but only after I finish them!<br>
