World AIDS Day

Today is World AIDS Day.

All photographs taken at the University of Sussex, England. Full sequence here.

Camera note: I used the EF17-40mm f/4L USM lens mounted on a Manfrotto 458B Neotec tripod. The exposures varied, but were all lengthy. Settings were manual, and I used the live preview feature on the Canon 40D to frame/focus the images. It's the first time I've attempted unlit night shots, but this seemed an appropriate event to try things out.

    Adele, thanks. It made a real change to work with long exposures and a non-moving subject. I should do more of it really!

    Heh, sounds like my fox photography of late! :whistle: At least you can get away with using the flash with yours when they come late at night. I either get bad eyeshine or surprised foxes if I try that 🙁 But I would like to try taking some city photos at night sometime.
