You take what you can


Wheeling, originally uploaded by jiihaa.

Today was another of those days when there was no time for photography, almost. I went for a short walk with the children to a playground nearby when it was already dark, and tried to take long-exposure photos using a mini-tripod.

Few of the photos succeeded even technically. This one has at least some color. I cropped this photo heavily, focusing on the rudder which my daughter was turning. Also, I painted a spotlight on the rudder using a small flashlight we had with us.

Yes, it is strange that although it was dark the camera saw there colors like it would have been a sunny day.

This is one of the photos which is not true to the reality, but creates a reality of its own.
