Comments on: My First Steps into the Walled City http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/index.php/2012/06/20/my-first-steps-into-the-walled-city/ Random thoughts and photos of my journey through life… Wed, 15 Apr 2026 09:40:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: CherryPie http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/index.php/2012/06/20/my-first-steps-into-the-walled-city/comment-page-1/#comment-18934 CherryPie Fri, 29 Jun 2012 17:42:32 +0000 http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/?p=8410#comment-18934 I didn't take my tripod with me because I didn't want to clutter up my luggage with it. So all the photos are hand held, I did better than I thought with holding my zoom lens still when zooming up close. I think it might be because it makes the camera heavier and therefore less likely for me to wobble it causing blur.

It's always great to get the opportunity for night photography that gives another dimension to the location, something that enthused me when I first started photography as a teenager. I'm always in a dilemma on whether I can be bothered to take a tripod on limited luggage trips, usually I have to rely on ISO settings instead. It's nice to see that the lights went on when there was still some natural light left. (I have a story about that another time at Conwy castle !) Very nice images indeed.

I know not to go out in them if at all possible and that they have a habit of easing off, just a little tease before it does the second half of the downfall. I should have followed my instincts and done my own thing and ignored the stepping out into the night. I wouldn't have got drenched ;-) I do like those sudden brief storms.
