Ghent, Belgium at Night

Lumix G5, Lumix 20mm f1.7
Taken: June 2013

I thought I'd kick off this month's project with one from the archives. This is a night scene taken in Ghent, Belgium one year ago.

There's nothing fancy here in terms of technique, I handheld the camera while bracing the camera on a railing on the bridge that we were standing on.

The Night is Still Young

Lumix LX5

Continuing to post my other shots from the Decisive Challenge, winter edition. The Santacon was on that day, and there were santas all over Chinatown/North Beach that night. Lea might recognize this moment (because she was there with us that night).

Moonrise Over the East Bay

Panasonic DMC-G1, Lumix 45-200mm

Here's that moonrise that I mentioned in my previous post. This is a 3.2 sec. exposure at ISO 200.

Bay Bridge at Night

Panasonic DMC-G1, Lumix 45-200mm

I rarely do night shots, but one night last year, I felt like shooting a moonrise and the Bay Bridge was nearby so I photographed the bridge as well.

This was taken at ISO 100 with a tripod.

When I have time, I'll post some moonrise pictures, but it really wasn't that good a night for moon pictures because it was a bit hazy over the Bay.

Fisherman's Wharf at Night

Panasonic DMC-G1, Lumix 14-45mm

This was taken on the day after Christmas. We were hoping that the boats still had their Christmas lights on, but only a few had them.

The Zipper!

Midsummer in upper Anne Arundel County means the Earleigh Heights VFC Carnival. I haven't strolled through while it was operating for six years, so I decided to take my camera one night this week.

Shooting these rides seems really hard, at least for me. I did manage to get three or four decent photos, and I'll post the others over the next few days.

Lagoon at Night, Crissy Field

Canon SD300

It was almost pitch black out there, but I still got something interesting :).

Golden Gate at Night

Canon SD300

It was a crisp and clear night because of the recent rains. Luckily I had a camera with me. These were taken while braced on a fence post in front of the lagoon at Crissy Field.

Hong Kong Night Scene

The trip to China was fun, but the best part was Hong Kong. The food and the feeling of the area (due to both British and Chinese influence) is different from all of the other places. It's my favorite place in China so far. Here is a night shot on Temple Street. All of the neon signs reminded me of Japan.

Bromo Tower at Dusk

Sometimes it pays to work late.

I was heading back to the Light Rail stop about 9 PM tonight, and the sky was geting darker, but not yet black. Looking up just about a half-block away from my stop, I noticed how the nicely-lit the Bromo Tower contrasted with the dark blue sky.

I didn't bring one of my small digicam tripods with me today, but there was a handy, flat-topped traffic barrel in just about the right spot to rest Ben's flat-sided Canon A630. I took about 25 exposures at the longest tele setting (equivalent to 135mm on 35mm) from ISO 80 to 400. This was the best of the lot at ISO 100.
