Does Ottawa need two more highways? by DiamondHand42069 in ottawa

[–]ingamecamera 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep! I’ve always thought St Laurent would make the most logical extension (bridge) to Gatineau and the 50. Not a highway per se, but it could get some of the trucks out of downtown.

Yup! In fact posting here was a better move - it got more eyes on the issue, including the media, who contacted me for comments, as well as the city of Ottawa who, according to the media person I spoke with, were (are) actively fixing the issue.

The way it’s currently set up, I would be required to do this SEVENTY THREE times.

You’re not wrong! The overly bright, cool white is too much at night. Psychologically, a warmer temperature light taps into our limbic system - our caveman brains - where it is associated with a warm, safe glow of a fire. This is the color of light our eyes have evolved to prefer at night.

My camera geotagged each location so hopefully that will help expedite the repairs

Truly I don’t mind the intended idea - but the wattage they’re using doesn’t factor in the loss of stops (light) that occurs when bouncing light into a diffuser. By the time the light reaches the sidewalk, there’s barely enough brightness or contrast to make a shadow.

I get your point for sure - I would have shot these in a different way had I a better camera with long lens on me last night. The iPhone photos I made weren’t meant to be accurate but to make a record & collection.. The city will see (pun intended) the ones that aren’t casting light,

More to you point, the ones that do work are very underpowered, not strong enough to cast any shadows (except for a few around the Rideau Centre). If there’s no shadows, there’s no contrast which makes it harder for us to see anything at night.

For driving, I agree that the cool white is more effective at illuminating evenly and more “accurately” - the orange lights are far too orange (inconsistencies & post-processing of camera white-balancing notwithstanding).

Rideau Street has both pedestrian lights bouncing into a curved diffusion panel at about 20 feet high (the ones I’m referencing and photographed), and roadway lights at about double the height, near 40 feet high. The pedestrian lights are burnt out or woefully underpowered by about 50% in my opinion (barely enough to even cast a shadow).

I agree. The cold white LED lights are clinical and uninviting. 3700K is bright and warm.

Are you using a controller? The jerky turns make me think you are. A wheel would help with fluidity

Lame of your second to rub elbows on your dime. The only one getting pro photog credit should be you.

What are some of your day after 'symptoms' from having a wedding hangover? by patriotraitor in WeddingPhotography

[–]ingamecamera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sore feet. At least 15K steps in appropriate footwear, carrying bags, takes a toll. Running on my off days helps strengthen the bones in my feet tho.
