Glasgow Night Photography

It's been a while since my last post, and this one is not going to be a huge one. I just wanted to share some shots, that I recently took at night. It's been taken from the roof of Glasgow Metropolitan College, which has great views all aound Glasgow city centre. It was all generally long exposures - about 10 seconds each at about f/11. And here is what you can see from just above George Square...

Remember, remember the 5th of November

"Remember, remember the fifth of November
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot
I know of no reason,
Why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot... "

Just a couple shots from the last Bonefire night in Glasgow. It was a cold night, but at least weather was good as it decided to stop raining. And as every year there is plenty going on in Glasgow Green, including great fireworks. Credit crunch cut them short, but they're still great to watch!

Anyway all of them is a long exposure - about 2-3 seconds at around f/11 on a tripod.

Studio still life photography

Here are some pictures that I wanted to share with you. I have shot them all during photography classes that I enrolled to couple of weeks ago. It's called Basic Studio Photography and is run by Metropolitan College of Glasgow. It started with portrait photography and now we moved into still life. I learned a great deal about using studio equipment and manipulating light. I will post some of the portrait shots later, but it's the still life that shows really what you have learned.
