I spent new years at a wedding in a hotel somewhere in Dublin (I got a group minibus and wasn’t asking directions!). I had brought my D300, just in case, and sure enough, once some drink took hold in the middle of the night I decided to wander around the hotel to see what I could find, even though it was pitch dark. Luck was with me though; the hotel was situated on the coast and across the water was a peninsula called Howth. It was alight with, well light, and balancing my Nikon on a rickety fence, took five exposures and came out with this very, very warm shot.
Feels like we’re on Planet Mars
You’re right – it is very red/orange. When I took the shot though it was pitch black, I couldn’t see the shore I was standing on AT ALL! Just shows the quality of the D300 sensor I guess
That looks deadly Steve, I love the way the light is reflected off the sand!
Yeah turns out Howth can look good after all!
