Stan in the Spotlight

[Stan]

Whilst in Menorca we visited the fortress of La Mola at the entrance to Mahon Harbour. Much is built into the rock face and whilst walking along one of the basement tunnels there were a number of rooms whose only form of light was from a hole in the roof which in the bright sunlight formed a spotlight. The first shot I took using a canon 10-22 wa lens, tripod, remote release, 8 secs at ISO 200.



We then thought it might be fun to put me in the spotlight, so Dee set her camera up with a 17-85 lens and keeping ISO low the first shots ended up around 10 secs - well i cant stay still for that long so ISO had to be increased to 1600 and aperture f8 and we got 2 secs - I also cant stay very still for 2 secs

Like how you can see the colours on the rock.

Think I prefer #1 Stan. It's the colours, nothing personal !

No 2 looks as if you've just been either beamed down or about to be beamed up to join Captain Kirk on board the Enterprise. Good photos anyway.

I have always admired Dee's photography, but #2 is the first shot of hers I wasn't too keen on ................. probably the subject matter, something seems to spoil it.
