Album 382
(Translated by Natalia)
This night walk – is the first “field check” of Nikon D50, then still with a whale objective (AF-S DX 18-55mm/f3.5-5.6). Have to say, that the main problem during night shooting was the clapping mirror – a characteristic feature of all mirror cameras. And, in D50 it is impossible to lift it preliminary - it always claps, when you press the button. As a result, the image comes smeared sometimes, even at shooting from a support. Running forward, I shall say, that use of an objective with VR partially removes a problem.

On the other shore of Bolshaya Nevka - some more buildings, reconstructed from factories and scientific research institutes into business-centres (as well as “Aquatoria”) We’ve walked here once, in album 301, but it was day and winter.

Considerably above on current of Neva - the Finlandsky railway bridge.
Almost nobody can recognise it at these photos. I guess, it’s because of not much of people want to take a walk in this place, and especially at night.
Usually they confuse it with Bolsheokhtinsky bridge. |

At this place the trees are growinf at the shore, so it looks like “view from a forest”. |
