    I’d love to know more about this brilliant work – is that fog rolling in and is the main source of light a floodlight?

  • ZenAkita

    lighting is just moving and the view is amazing

    Nuno Pires in reply to PablosVista’s comment, about 1 month ago

    No, it’s not fog but it was very cloudy in that night, and the main source of light was the little village near, you can see a bit of it on the right side =)

    do you ever have a problem with noise and hot spots at low light, my 400d’s sensor seems to be really noisey

  • Nuno Pires

    Nuno Pires in reply to igotmeacanon’s comment, about 1 month ago

    hmmm there’s an option on the cam to reduce the noise, it takes longer to save the photo to the card but i think it’s worthy. This option only works in long exposures… You could also use low iso’s to prevent the noise ;)
    Then you can also remove it in Photoshop or other program, i use Neat Image.
