"More" Night Photography
< on 10/2/2003 4:25 PM >
Posted on Forum: UER Forum
 
I was going to resurrect my previous thread on night photos from a couple of months ago. Unfortunately when I browsed through it I realised that most of the pictures in it had been lost when that small bug unlinked all of the pictures on the forum.

I light of that I am going to start this NEW night photography thread off with a trio of pictures I snapped last night in Gatineau.

Industrial Night shots are so interesting...

These shots unfortunately look at bit compressed but I had to get them under 100k.. The originals are so nice and smooth...

Come on everyone... Post what you have done. If you don't have any, grab your camera and tripod and go for a walk tonight... you will have SO much fun, and we will all get to see some great night photos.

Hey, Detroit, that first one is awesome! What would it take to get that in a nice, high-res version. Say, 1280x960? Very, very cool. I've got to get out there and do some night photography. I'm very impressed.

Wow, that first picture is awesome. I've been trying my hand at some night photos since I got my new camera, if you'd like to see them:

Wow. That is some good work Detroit, those pictures make the whole look so... surreal. The lighting gives it a strange feel I can't quite describe, especially the first one.

I need to get a quality camera and tripod, damn it.

Detroit, those are great. In the 3rd one, was the halo coincidental or were you using some kind of lens?

Thanks..

That shot was at a higher f-stop than the others... I wasn't aiming to get the halo specifically because the light has to hit at just the right angle for me to get it... I was hoping for it though because I had achieved it in similar shots in the past.

No special lenses just my Hoya Pro-1 Skylight 1-B filter.

Ack!!! Double post!!!

Night photog is one of my favorite things to do. You can get such amazing colors and patterns out of the dark.

Hmm... I can see that it's still stuck at 10:20, after lightning hit way back in 1956.

Here's a few more.

Here's what happens when I play with a wide angle lens at night. I've tried to get a good picture of this building before, but I can't usually fit it in the frame and still be as close as I wanted. Perfect solution.

What exactly are those pictures of? I can't figure it out. There seems to be some horizontal line halfway down the picture, almost as if two separate pictures were spliced together. Where is that somke coming from?

When I pulled up across the street from where I took these shots I kept saying to myself... this is unreal... this is so unreal... I can't believe I never noticed this scene before...!

I was a very surreal scene even just standing there... there are so many awesome things that go unnoticed in cities!!

Ok, I got it now, the building has big dark vertical stripes along it. That was throwing me off, I thought the white sections were open sky and the black ones were all separate buildings and the smoke didn't line up with them so it was a bit confusing.

The time lapse is so very very cool. Is there an airport nearby, or do you have problems with flying cars?

Detroit, the very first picture looks completely fake. It looks like it was raytraced. Great job finding the spot and getting the picture. Why is the lamp in the middle of grassy field?

A time lapse shot of the ferris wheel at the MN State Fair. Notice the patern left behind the changing lights.



My first attempt at full moon photography. Frame #1. A ten-minute exposure taken during the full moon of June. This is a refurbished homestead from the late 1800's, now used as a day shelter along a not so treaded trail in MN.

wow a wallpaper, awesome! thanks.. Those are planes from LaGuardia heading off across the Atlantic, (I never noticed how many there were until I put the photos together) and NYC residents can rarely save up the 1.21 Gigawatts to get thier cars to fly 8]

I plan to do quite a few day and night time lapses near the ocean, I like how the clouds form.
