Heyya!
These benches.
Camera body: Canon EOS 550D
Lens: Sigma ART 50mm ƒ/1.4
Aperture: ƒ/1.4
Exposure: 1/125 s
ISO: 3200
I had an interesting photo "session" today.
After taking the boys home, I went off for a photo shoot hoping the skies wouldn't get too dark too soon. To my disappointment the sun still went down too early. Not phased with that I thought I might still get some shots using a higher ISO sensitivity setting. I could always turn the photos black and white.
When I finally got my camera out, I was stunned. I had forgotten the SD-card home.
"Hah!" I thought, "I'll take a spare card out of the bag and continue shooting!"
I had no memory cards in the bag. Turned out I had put them in my back pack the last time I was out with it, and that too was home.
The answer was already clear in my head, so I went and bought a new 64GB SDXC I card. If my camera doesn't support it I can always buy another, and also if I upgrade, I will already have an exceptionally good card for it.
When I tested it, I noticed I wouldn't be able to fill it in one session. I will probably never take over 2400 photos in a day.
Long story short, I took my camera and the new card to the harbour, and managed to shoot a slew of cool photos. The one attached on this post is taken at Pikku-Vesijärvi Park.
Because it was dark, and I had to use relatively high ISO settings, the photos had some static, so I turned most of them into monochrome to fight the grain.
So here you have it. :) Captivating benches in the snow. Emptiness in white.
I'll be back! See ya!

For me it looks very cool and scary (it looks like the scene of a scary movie) XD
But the story that accompanies the photos It's what I always enjoy the most. since it personally makes me see the photo in a different way ;)

It is so quiet there. I would love to sit and think about birds and frogs. And how they interact. Why birds and frogs? I have no idea, I'm insane.
Just to sit and enjoy the moment, even though it's very cold there.

I know right. I once went to shoot a house demolition with my drone far from my home and I had forgotten my SD card. I had other SD cards with me but I only owned one which was good enough for my drone... I was kind of mad.

After so many disappointment you came through. The photo shot is worth the trouble. The black and white looks awesome and the benches in the whole front of it looks better. It just as if they just calling someone to sit on them.. Lovely photo Story

Well, for me personally, I will prefer photos of the same quality if its down to color vs. black and white. I'm not exactly sure why, but it doesn't matter.
What matters is that this is beautiful! Perhaps my favorite photo I've seen so far that you've posted.

You can take perfectly good photos using only the street lights as your light source. Often, if there is too much light getting a really good shot can be more difficult.

I like the photo a lot, it's a picture in a different type of black and white and at night with low light, bad luck what happened with the card, awesome that you could solve it, I do not think in that emptiness, I think that snow is a character that sets very well in any scene.

I think there have been times I have taken over a hundred shots, generally I take at most 24 to 36 photos, equalling roughly a roll of film worth of photos. But often it's a lot less. I prefer quality over quantity.
Leaves would be a liability for most trees and bushes in the winter, that's the reason virtually all plants shed their leaves during Autumn. It's a different story for coniferous trees however.

Good pictures make a merry heart.
That is part of the adaptation behaviour exhibited by many plants for survival.

I think the leaves are shed because they would be damaged by frost. Growing new leaves helps the plant grow better. The fallen leaves provide the plant nutrients anyway.

The tree would not survive the winter if it had to support the leaves through it. That's what I meant with liability. As a survival strategy it is easier for the trees to cut off the leaves and conserve water and energy.
The process is called abscission. It's a hormonal process by which the tree breaks up the chlorophyll (the green pigment) to feed the tree with nutrients so it better survives the winter. During the separation of the leaves, the abscission process creates a layer of cells that simultaneously pushes the leaves out from their stem, these cells also acts as a protective layer over the exposed stem.
See I wasn't always asleep during biology classes. :)

Hello friend, but in spite of everything it was an excellent photo. a question at what hour or so? was taken the picture, after going to buy the card, excuse my ignorance when you talk about fighting the grain to which grain you refer?
Regards..

It was taken somewhere between 7pm and 8pm. The time shown on the photo is most likely wrong, because it seems I have forgotten to set daylight savings time again.
By the grain I mean the static noise created by the sensor when its sensitivity setting is set too high because low light. It just means the quality of the resulting photo will become lower.
If I had had a tripod with me, I could've shot the same photo at ISO 100 instead of ISO 3200, while having a longer exposure time to balance, and I would've gotten rid of most of the noise in the photo.
Here's an example zoom in to the noise I'm talking about:
very grainy

!Wow! The monochrome is very effective! I could feel some invisible people sitting around on those benches, just looking into empty space as if in deep meditation. This black and white photo gives me the sense of mystery and lots of imagination.
Now I know why people like monochrome photos!
Have a good rest too!
