Earth Hour, 2009

By carlfish on

Sydney, as seen from my balcony five minutes before ‘lights out’ in Earth Hour 2009, with the camera set up to take what it believed was a +0EV shot:

Exact same exposure, aperture, ISO and perspective (except for somebody nudging the tripod) as previous shot, after all the lights that were going to go out had gone out:

Half an hour after the lights came back on:

(Note for keen observers: on top of the bridge there are two flags. The one on the right is a special “Earth Hour” promotional flag. This flag remained illuminated throughout.)
