Area 53 - 2011 - Photo #33

I went out last night to shoot the sunset, but there wasn't much to be had. So as the light faded I decided to try some twilight shots. I went to a spot I know next to the 401. As I was failing to get any good shots towards the west, where the sun had just set, I noticed the moon coming up from behind the clouds to the east. So I turned that way and got some tail light/cloudy moon shots.

Area 53 - 2011 - Photo #31

I'm a day late again. Not good reason, I was just busy yesterday and kind of forgot it was Monday. Anyway, I have something a little different this week. I recently bought a cheap IR (Infrared) filter last week so I've been trying to figure that out. I'm still struggling to get good results with it as it requires insanely long exposure time.

This photo was about 2 minutes long in the sunlight, and it still came out a little dark. I had to lighten it a lot and apply quite a bit of noise reduction in Lightroom. I also toned down the saturation a lot because everything comes out very red.

On Friday we went to try out the new Kart track in Tilbury, Ontario. I shot this panorama at the end of the night.

I didn't shoot a lot of photos this week, but I tried. I just got a new lens that I've been wanting for years now, the Sigma 10-20mm. I haven't had a chance to really try it out, but I went for a walk one day with it last week and took a few simple photos.

Area 53 - 2011 - Photo #27

I just realized I forgot to post yesterday. No reason, it just slipped my mind. But I still have photos. My main photo this week is just a random shot from driving around the county for fun. The sky was nice so I shot this panorama and added some light HDR.

My bonus photo would have been my main photo, but I've already posted it on the Weather Network website and Facebook.

I knew a good storm was coming so I drove out into the county to hopefully get some lighting shots as the storm rolled in, before the rain (and hail) started. Shorty after this photo, the storm hit, and it was pretty intense. By far the worst storm I've ever been out in. I thought there was a tornado and the wind was rocking my car pretty violently. I pulled into a small side street and parked next to a house for some shelter from whatever debris the wind might have been blowing.
