Week 13, Day 87, July 26, 2009, "Night Time Tomato Plant"



I did a lot of experimenting with photographs, but I didn't like the results as well as yesterday's rain experiments. (On Facebook, not this blog). It's just one of those days of learning what doesn't work.

This is a photo of our small garden at night with the flood light. I think there is some potential for night time shooting, but I'm not very happy with the results so far.

Lessons Learned:
  • Experimenting can be tough, but hopefully it will add to my growing experience. Thomas Edison, "I haven't failed, I've found 10000 ways that don't work." Today I found about 10 things that didn't work.
  • Night Time shooting is an excellent way of getting a black back ground.
Photo details: Exposure time .8 sec, Aperture f/2.8, ISO 100, Focal Length 70 mm, 35 mm equivalent focal length 113 mm, Lens Canon 70-200mm f2.8L USM, tripod.
