Totma is beautiful

I lied a little that I didn’t shoot Totma at night. Yes, I have pictures of night views, but this is not what I would like, because the photos were taken without a tripod. Of course, I tried to use hard surfaces to install the camera, but such tricks were unsuccessful.

I had to lift the ISO value up to heaven, rest my body against the barriers and, holding my breath, press the shutter-release button as I exhale, like a gun trigger.

Under such conditions, interest immediately disappears in such a deal, so I wandered around only the main attractions - two temples - and went to rest at the hotel.

As ill luck would have, there was not a cloud and the full moon came out. This made me even more upset by the lack of a tripod.

I also tried to look for something minimalistic and abstract.

But all the photos only caused sadness. After all, long exposures produce a completely different picture.

Whatever the sensitive matrix on your camera, using a tripod is inevitable at night.

And at night there is something to shoot in this city! Old courtyards, churches, sheds, fences - this is all that always attracted me during night shooting.

Dawn from the window of the hotel named "Dawn". The window from my room looked directly at one of the main temples of the city.

And I was upset that during dusk I saw the rising of a full red-orange moon! It saves this situation that I was able to take many beautiful photos in the daytime and one of them was published yesterday in the Russian Newspaper.
