This walk was a little unusual. Firstly, I was on some strange graphic-abstract creative wave.
Secondly, the entire shooting was in jpeg format, which is unacceptable for such lighting.
Thirdly, from the very beginning until the moment I got into the car and left, there was an escort with me: for some reason they sent me security...in the form of a street dog.
He was next to me throughout the entire time.
Places came across gloomy, because there were barracks along Karl Marx Street. And on a couple of occasions I really needed guard, due the other dogs. I was not against such a company and really felt more confident.
Only now the dog turned out to be impatient and constantly urged me on. It started whining every time I put the camera on a tripod and pressed the button.
Apparently, he was too lazy to wait for 20-30 seconds while the exposure lasted - he wanted constant movement. I, in turn, immediately warned him that I was here on my own business and if he needed to protect me, then let him adjust.
Previously, I was given more escorts, but for the past couple of years I have been walking alone.
I am not afraid of dogs so much that even confident angry dogs end up shying away from me in shock.
They say the truth is that dogs feel fear, but from me they do not feel it and therefore begin to be afraid themselves.
If you think I'm too confident, I have been bitten by dogs many times. Once in my childhood, a shepherd dog in a jump managed to bite me behind my back, when I was riding a bicycle!
Now let's talk about jpeg in night photography.
It is acceptable when the white balance does not need to be adjusted.
In all cases, the result will be good where there is no poisonous yellow light from the mercury lamps of street lamps.
The processor inside the camera processes the data from the sensor in such a way that it is impossible to correct the color later.
At first I was outraged that it had happened, then I was saddened and finally accepted the result.
And now, after a week and a half, I even like it!
