I got the chance to go downtown and take some pictures last week. I don’t have a lot of experience with night photography, so the learning curve was pretty steep. Some things worked, but a lot of them didn’t.

The top image of the downtown skyline and the one below of the pedestrian bridge used the High Dynamic Range technique, and turned out pretty well.

One lesson learned: even if the fence you are shooting though is way out of your depth of field, it shows up in those really long exposures!

There are a couple is one more in the gallery under general photography.

All in all it was fun, and I learned a lot, so I will have to try my hand at it again in the near future!

So cool, I think it is great that you have picked this up.
Would you email me? I want to talk to you about taking Aiden’s newborn pictures.
