TITLE

Dancing lights

HOW I DID IT

This shot was taken on New Year’s Day near

the Jokulsarlon Ice Beach during a winter

photographic tour of Iceland. It had been raining

all week, and there was a small break in the

weather at two in the morning. This provided one

of the few opportunities to capture the Northern

Lights. I had to wait for the cloud to shield the

moon so I could capture the Northern Lights as

they danced across the night sky.

DETAILS

Canon 5DSR, 14mm f/2.8L lens, 15s @ f/2.8, ISO

1000, tripod. Capture One to manage dynamic

range and increase saturation and contrast.

This way

HOW I DID IT

This image was taken in our

little town of Korumburra,

Victoria. Places always looks

so different at night! I waited

until about an hour after

sunset, so there would still be

some deep blue in the sky,

and used a smaller f-stop to

“star” the street lights.

DETAILS

Canon EOS 6D, 24-105mm

lens @ 40mm, 10s @ f/14,

ISO 250, tripod. Curves,

sharpening, cropping.

Concentrate

HOW I DID IT

Day or night the concentrator at

Mount Isa, Queensland, continues

operation but it’s only at night that

it takes on this golden appearance

and loses its daytime industrial grey

appearance.

DETAILS

Canon EOS 70D, 15-85mm lens @

16mm, 10s @ f/7.1, ISO 200, tripod.

Contrast, detail, sharpening, highlight

and cropping.
