Night Photography: Putrajaya Bridge Part 1

Seri Gemilang Bridge 
Presint 4, Putrajaya

Time: 6.45 to 7.45 PM

Night Photoshoot is one of my favourite photograph works. Why?? Sebab memerlukan daya kesabaran yang tinggi walaupun saya ni bukan lah seorang yang agak penyabar orang nye. Anyway it was fun walaupun terpaksa bertahan dengan nyamuk & cuaca yang agak tidak menentu sekarang ni.

My target this week was to shoot Putrajaya Bridges during Night time. So, for beginning, I chose Seri Gemilang Bridge as my first target for this week. Target nak shoot more than one tapi masa tidak mengizinkan. We managed to spend 1 hour at this area. Initial plan nak capture the “Golden Hour” kat sini tapi sky colour not as stunning as previous day… so, we changed to Night Photo shoot.

Masa ni belum betul-betul gelap lagi

Bridge that are lit up at night look stunning when photographed well

The above photo was taken with 3 different exposure and blended into HDR mode. Below pic was the original.

Shutter: 30", Aperture F22, ISO 100, Flash: Not fired
Use small aperture to get star bursts from light

I chose Auto WB for natural look. For warmer colors, maybe can set the White Balance from Auto to Daylight. I think, the best angle is to place the camera so that the bridge, the water and the PICC can be seen. Maybe next time I should try take on the other side so that Putrajaya Buildings can be seen.
