Enjoy!

1) Bridge&River Separating the 95% Black and 95% White communities... Surprisingly peaceful.


2) Retirement home, overlooking lake michigan.


3) My car =]


I learned a LOT once I got my 60 shots to my computer and looked at them all on the big screen, can't wait to go out for my next night shoot with a camera remote this time, and some more knowledge around the correct aperture and shutter speed / iso to use in some scenarios :)

did you use a tri-pod? the 3rd one is lil too blurry

i like the first one for the most part, but i'd patch out the lens flare if you can. i'd also try to crop it into a vertical image, even though the light reflections on the water look cool.

Yeah thanks for the feedback, I need to use a camera remote from now on, or use a timer. This was my first time taking night shots so I learned a lot! :)

You shot all 3 with an high ISO of 800, try to get as low as possible next time (~200 is just fine :))!
For the f-number try f/8, I do so and get the best results so far..
With a tripod + remote or timer you can easily get 30seconds ++ (shutter speed is least important on a tripod ;))

Show us your next pictures!

I set my self timer to the lowest setting and then press the shutter with my finger, when doing long exposures. Honestly I hate using my remote, I think its a pain in the ass.
