Went out last night to take some pics
 

Not car pics, just night pictures of a town by me. The moon was full and I LOVE shooting at night. Might go out again tonight too. These are all super long exposures, shot only by ambient light, some streetlight, some moonlight. Tripods are wonderful :D Let me know what you think!

some of those shots were really nice. it showed a quiet, peaceful winter town asleep to me. the light off the moon was amazing last night! definitely a great idea to go shooting.

some nice shots there melissa!

They are some really nice pictures. Taking shots at night is alot of fun. Most of my pics i end up taking at night

Those ARE nice what kind of camera are you using diva?

Thanks! I use a canon 20D with either 18-55 kit lens or 70-200 zoom. All the exposures were around 25 seconds long so I could keep the ISO and noise down. Only hard part was having the patience to retake pictures that a car drove in front of.

They are also all edited for color balance and saturation.

Thanks for the kind words :-)

Very nice....tonight should be good as well. Full moon, and mostly clear skies.
