Well hello again and welcome back to Maspalomas, tonight we're going to try and get some sunset
shots with the lighthouse and possibly some late night vision long exposure stuff
hopefully getting the illuminated sea front that type of thing. We'll see what kind of images we
can get again using the Panasonic fz82. I do have some ND filters and things like that so I might
have a quick go at some seascape stuff before the sun goes down so I'll catch you in a bit.
So there we have the subject for this evening's vlog behind me there, the lighthouse! I hope you
hear me over the crashing waves it's absolutely fantastic here, the sun's
going to be setting in about half an hour. I think pretty much worked out what I'm going to do
competition wise, mainly the lighthouse with the rocks in the foreground maybe and a lovely sunset.
So yeah it doesn't look as if it's going to be a great evening for a sunset. We've got this bank
of cloud that's rolled in off the sea and the sun's kind of dipping into that at the moment,
you never know we're not going to give up just yet hopefully the sky might catch. This
is the only day that's forecast for any cloud so I was hoping that we would get
some nice high cloud and perhaps that would be illuminated by the setting sun. We'll see what
we'll get, we've still got some night photography to do so hopefully once Maspalomas lights up for
the evening we can get some photographs of that so stick around and we'll see those photos.
Here
we are again 24 hours later hoping that the sky is going to kick off tonight. It was a bit of a
disappointment early on last night and then all of a sudden, after packed up and gone away from the
scene, sure enough 08:20pm the sky was bright red, absolutely fantastic sunset. I did race back but
I wasn't able to get here before the light faded. So hopefully we can do something with the sky as
it's happening behind us tonight. Currently this is going to be a bit of a challenge for the fz-82,
remember it is a small sensor on this camera and low light isn't its favourite subject.
I am shooting at about four second exposure ISO 80. Thankfully the camera is on the
tripod hopefully it's going to pick out some detail in the sky and we'll get a decent shot.
I've had to switch the camera in to a scene mode and use Artistic Nightscape as I don't
think four seconds is going to be quite long enough now that it's got a little bit darker.
Hopefully this pink is going to keep on coming and we're going to get
a great sky, if not and we'll be here until it gets dark and then I'll give up.
So by the end of that vlog you could see I was a little bit despondent. I was a little
bit disappointed with the weather conditions we had. Sunset didn't quite kick off as much as I'd
like to have, the tide could have been in which would have given some motion in the foreground
which would have been ideal. But you've got to work with what you've got you only had a week to
go out and shoot and yeah it was a holiday as well so obviously my partner didn't want to be with me
taking photographs all the time, so we made the best of what we could in the time we had.
I think yeah, if it was in the UK I could have gone and looked at apps and picked the best
weather conditions to go out to shoot a certain location
but as I say just had the week. As ever, thank you very much for watching
