Photography News: Night photography, panoramas, HDR, punctum
Radar Tower (haunted) — by Joe Reifer
- Last night’s photoshoot involved 5 miles of hiking, a surreal fogbank with musical foghorn soundtrack, and photographing the remains of a cold war Nike missile site. The image above is a 6 minute exposure at f/8 with an Olympus 21mm lens. Lit only by moonlight, a white bedsheet was used to create the ghost — no Photoshop
- Panomundo is a very informative panoramic workflow resource, and was instrumental in figuring out how to make this panorama on the SS Jeremiah O’Brien during last Saturday’s morale boosting Telstar Logistics event
- Sunday night’s adventure revisited the abandoned 1914 hotel that is not long for the world. There is a great book
on the history of this location
- Jim Goldstein eloquently lays down the law on what’s wrong with HDR (via The Nocturnes)
- A popular Photoshop expert finds value in Mark Hobson’s the Landscapist, possibly leaving some readers scratching their heads about the meaning of punctum

Joe,
When you shoot under FM for 6m @ f/8, what ISO are you using?
Thanks,
Andy

Hi Andy,
About 6 minutes at f/8 is a pretty standard exposure for me — depending on clouds and moon position, the ISO will vary — usually 125 or 160.
Cheers,
Joe
