Night photography in Cork City.

Working with my Nikon NZ-II mounted on a compact Gitzo tripod, I made a variety of photos around Cork City.

The tripod allowed me use a lower ISO, which required a slower shutter speed but captures a greater amount of data with minimal loss.

Working with Lightroom, I adjusted shadows and highlights to reduce contrast and make for better balanced images despite the prevailing darkness punctuated by harsh artificial light.

Kent Station, Cork. Note the position of the light above the train shed to the right. I’ve used to the shed to crop most of the light, thus limiting this potential distracting element, while make the most of the light to better define the top of the train shed.
