Confusion posted:Where did you take the shots though? I imagine somewhere remote and high? With a little air pollution, light pollution and atmosphere getting in the way? I took that picture on holiday in the Italian lakes, sat outside my tent about 2000ft up in the dolomites. Certainly great conditions for it, but you can manage light pollution with filters, this was taken from my roll off roof shed in my back garden in Basingstoke England. Click here for the full 1000x666 image. Rated PG-34 That is beautiful, where was it taken? It looks like Carcassonne.

I took these of the St. Boniface Cathedral. I was going for a darker look. In the second image, you can see one of my classmates setting up their tripod to take a photo and then leaving. I thought it looked pretty cool.

Here's one from a shoot I did a few weeks ago. Pedestrian foot bridge in a park in Houston, TX. This is one I just shot tonight for a photo class. I'm supposed to experiment with the color temperature by shooting different types of light in the same photograph. I think the taillights along the bottom really provide an interesting line for the eye to follow. I'm not so sure about the green light though. I made the white balance a bit warmer in post, because I really wanted to over emphasize the red in the shot.

When it's really dark and you're setting up your equipment, how do you see? In the past I've had trouble making sure I've got the subject in frame as I can't really see much through the viewfinder. Although I'm using a Nikon D50 which isn't that great to look through really unless there's loads of light. This means I have trouble focusing, and when I get back to look at the shots on my computer I'm often disappointed. Should I just set the aperture to f/16 and just focus manually? I usually use my Sigma 10-20 so I suppose I could use a little flashlight and adjust the focusing ring. For example, there's a beach near me and a few times I've gone out in the evening, around and after sunset and got a few shots that I like, e.g. this: Click here for the full 1024x681 image. I tried to go when it was properly dark and take some really long exposures of the water, as before, possibly with stars and/or moon, but I just couldn't get what I visualised. I think it's due to what I mentioned before, not getting what I want in the frame and also the focus being messed up. I suppose I could do with a few pointers for settings to use when it's dark, rather than low light. Also, do people use that long exposure noise reduction feature that is present in some cameras? Does it help? I haven't really thought about it before but it's something that just occured to me now. Thanks! also, now I look back at that photo I posted, it seems a little over processed to me. Any tips on editing long exposure night photos? Sorry for all the questions!

^ That looks really cool. Could you not get any closer? Shame you missed out because of ze lens. Here's a silly looking building. I'm thinking about going back and reshoot it with a bit more light in the sky. Edit: Xanin posted:Also, do people use that long exposure noise reduction feature that is present in some cameras? Does it help? I haven't really thought about it before but it's something that just occured to me now. On my 400D it takes forever to apply the noise reduction so I rather do it in post than wait around and look like a retard. The first time I tried it I thought the camera died or something because there was no progress bar or anything. Ringo R fucked around with this message at 10:35 on Oct 29, 2009 |

This is very graphic & well-composed. I love that it's 9:01. It's a very conceptual shot with one stationary figure & one who vacated the frame earlier. I might play around with the curves a little more. It's a little flat to me, but it's all subjective! Some favorites I've done: Zaha Hadid's temporary Burnham Pavilion when it was up in Chicago's Millennium Park. The most clichéd of cliché carnival shots, but I liked the overlapping light trails. Guy and his dog loitering at a bank... Chicago skyline seen from the BP pedestrian bridge.

New to long exposures. Any easy way to reduce the huge spreading flarey glow of street lamps other than increasing shutter speed?

If you're referring to the shadows in the stairwell being flat, yeah I might go in a punch those up a little more. The bulk of the image is intentionally black though. --- I posted this in the SAD thread, but everybody got too wrapped up in baby crap to critique the image.

How did you do this? How'd you make it seem like a model? I see this style all the time but can't figure out how to do it and don't know anyone who has.

Its called Tilt Shift: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilt-shift_photography I just popped in this thread to say I love night time and low-light photography, and its one of the main reasons I'm buying a DSLR. Hopefully in a few months I can pop back in with some of my own stuff that isnt laughable.

Y'all have some really amazing shots. Ishkibibble - I really like the lighting effect you get in your chicago skyline shot. Beach near Chicago in winter From a parking lot in SF - HDR (terrible, I know, but I like it here)

I've been trying my hand at some long exposures but every shot I take seems to be slightly out of focus. AF obviously doesn't work due to the darkness and every time I just switch it into MF and put it on infinity focus nothing is in any way sharp. How do you guys get such sharp focus on these shots taken in near pitch blackness?

How do you guys get such sharp focus on these shots taken in near pitch blackness? I tend to flip out the flash and throw on autofocus just to get the focus. I don't have a tripod yet, so I have to rely on a firm hand and a stable object to hold the camera base on. Haven't seen anything at night yet that's worth capturing without a tripod (ie finding the right flat topped post/wall). I'm still amateurish, so if any of you guys think I'm doing it wrong, by all means correct me.

Love this. Spooky look to it. Got out and shot the Toledo skyline this past weekend. I'm still new to it but this is my favorite so far. It's killing me that I can't get "Fifth Third Bank" on the tower sharper. Is there any way to get this or am I screwed since it's a really bright white light making the letters? Notice my jacket covering up a light?
