Night shooting- 1st try

[Jaimecbr900]

Alright peoples.....I've always wanted to practice some night shots, but I've never been very good at them. I mooched off one of the best night (and day for that matter) photographers I know. He took me to a couple of cool places around town. Nothing too fancy, just places to get my feet wet (almost literally) and practice. We will be going on some more involved sessions soon enough, now that I'm a little more comfortable with it.

Disclaimer: I know that some of these have the dreaded halos and different faults, but keep in mind that this was my first real effort at night shots......sooooo........ ....JP.

Anyways, I'll post some of the ones I thought were kinda cool. Enjoy.

P.S. This would've been much funner and better results had we had some hottie posing or sumpin'.......Any volunteers???

Not bad at all for a first time Jaime. Good job.

Last set: Including the gratuitous car shot, eventhough the car is filthy and I freaking tore off the whole front lip the other day.....

I totally agree. I tried several different settings to try and neutralize that orange glow from the old school bug be gone flourescents, but no dice. The second location had a ton of street and park lights, but atleast there they were white..... That was actually the hardest thing about the second place was trying to dodge the lights enough to take the pics. They were every where.

It's all cool though, because I got a lot of very needed practice plus hungout with my boy who's been MIA for a while.....

Matt: Thanks.

Rich: Will do....

Those are not what I expected when entering a "1st try" thread. WTFreak???

My 1st try a night shooting looked nothing like these . Instead lots of blurrrrrrrrrrrrrrr & NO image. You took awesome shots! Love the surreal images in the 1st set and the Matrix building has always been my favorite, nice that you got shots of it.

Keep up the good work!

Nice pics! I work in that building with the green neon

I believe the shutter goes a little later than usual on night shot? Atleast thats how it works on my little peice of shit camera lol

When I first tried taking night shot pics, I clicked then moved the camera just like I normally would. I found out the hard way that you had to sit there for a split second longer.

+1 for the pics

Canon 400D, and thank you.

Walker: I had some help from one of the best.....

Jmmx: I think Protege knows how to take night shots, but he was just commenting on how his first ones turned out. Thanks for the positive feedback on the pics.
