Wide Open Spaces.
Walking around Old Aberdeen after sunset turned out to be a pure joy in many ways. In a previous post, I waxed a little about the stunningly picturesque Powis Gate Towers and, directly opposite them stands this beautiful building – King’s College. Although I was tripodless, I managed to snag a few frames by shooting wide open (at 2.5) handheld and, though a little soft, I am nonetheless very happy to share these few images. I hope you’ll enjoy them.

Great atmosphere! Such a kind of architecture looks very good with this lightening.
You have super steady hands or… what’s your secret? 😀
I wouldn’t even try to shoot without a tripod in such a dark. Though I hate images my camera does with ISO more than 200. So anytime I’m going to shoot in bad light conditions I take my tripod. By the way, a heavy tripod is a good thing to resist any theft 😀

Alena, thank you. I have no other secret – just that I find a good way to anchor my body and have very steady hands. I could not have made these without using a viewfinder though, and this adds extra stability against forward and reverse movement, I wouldn’t shoot past ISO 1600 with this set-up but had I have had my tripod I would have shot at 100 for sure. Stopping down would have made these almost impossible to shoot without a tripod as there was nowhere suitable to rest the camera – hence a little softness and shallow depth but, I like them. And I am so glad that you do also! Thank you, Alena!
