Witte Singel

September 27th, 2009

I spent a few hours yesterday taking pictures along the Witte Singel, one of Leiden’s widest canals that runs around the old city. The plan was to capture the domes of the Leiden Observatory, but as I might have guessed, they’re in the dark. So I concentrated on the canal and the road alongside it.

Before I went to the Witte Singel I took a few pictures at the edge of the Stevenshof, where the city ends and the rural area begins. Getting things in focus was very difficult, and as is usually the case with streetlamps, the pictures have a terrible red glow—though nothing a bit of post processing can’t get rid of.

Here are two favourites, there are 4 more pictures in the rest of the story.

6s | F7.1 | ISO10020s | F8 | ISO 400

20s (+0.5) | F10 | ISO400 0.6s - 2s | F7.1 | ISO 100 | HDR

 15s | F10 | ISO400 10s | F6.3 | ISO100 | lots of red-reduction
