1. The Eye of Rugby;
ISO 1600, Av f/4.5, Tv 1/60s, 5184x3456, 2.68MB. I noticed this potential image as I approached the Rugby Field. I saw a horizontal strip of light from the field lights, liken to blinking darkness.
Experiment; Set up tripod at optimum vantage point and experimented with my camera settings, hiking up my ISO a couple of times, setting my shutter speed to 1/60s to capture the minimalist of movement blur and opened up my aperture to f4.5 until I got the image I was looking for.
2. Tree Light;Experiment; Set up tripod at optimum vantage point and experimented with my camera settings, hiking up my ISO a couple of times, setting my shutter speed to 1/60s to capture the minimalist of movement blur and opened up my aperture to f4.5 until I got the image I was looking for.
ISO 3200, Av f/4.5, Tv 1/60s, 5184x3456, 2.93MB. I looked up into the trees trying to gauge the light source and noticed the branches were highlighted in a circular pattern, so I hiked up my ISO to 3200 to define the highlights.
