Nighttime photography

 Night time panoramas brought some interesting results. Particularly with light and black space.

Here I stood at the Karori Tunnel. I was bombarded with light and the colour yellow, it was an interesting location as a three way intersection. I could neglect the presence of a sky as the surounding hills created a black space that the image would fade into.

 

The street lines distorted and overall it was a hard image to work with digitally.

Karori Tunnel

This is my favourite mini-planet from Karori Tunnel the tallest poles and road markings are on the left and right of the image which gives the image some symetry making it easier to comprehend.

The next set I took at my home in Makara. the only light source comes from the immediate surrounding buildings as there are no immediate neighbours or street lights.

The first  image produced here has a lot of black space and seems to squash the buildings.

I tried to invert the image but as most settings the ground doesn't look good stretched.

 

Next I edited out the warping of the inverted image and merged the two images as I'd seen eimilar technique used in other mini-worlds. The effect usually works to coverup any central imperfections, here it helps to occuypy the space.

 

 

I do quite like the 1st and last images, I could definitely push these at a later date. In particularly the first image, I could try to eliminate some of the black space in the image whilst it is still in a panorama stage, hopefully this will stretch the buildings across the space more evenly.
