Night Life


Orion and Jupiter in the sky above St Andrews church Chippenham.
Taken from Monkton park, which was still relatively busy thanks to the mild evening and proximity to the weekend.  It's always easy to feel a little vulnerable carrying expensive camera gear around urban areas at night, but it felt pretty chilled out and there is something reassuring about having a few kilos of metal tripod handy.  Having so many windows lit up was a bonus, but the reflection in the river didn't add as much to the image as I imagined, so it's been mostly chopped.

ISO400, 16mm, f.9, 30s, tripod, cable release, mirror lock up, cropped, noise reduction
