[Patrick Long]

I want to see your night time photography!!

I have been sparked lately by many types of photography, but always like to do long exposure nighttime shots.

Post em!!

I hate when little emo kids take pictures of something and put it in B and W or whatever and call themselves photographers.

Simple shots like those are what it's all about

Great shots Patrick!

Great picture Patrick!

Thank you dude!!!

I have been slaving over this cam cam since I got it, trying to better myself.

Tutorials, tips, tricks, MORE tutorials....LOL

Pat what speed did you take this at??

[Patrick Long]

Ed, believe it or not, I shoot all my nightime at iso 100....yup thats right! LOL

I really dont like the grainyness that anything above ISO200 gives you.

I shot those all at F2.8...I know its wide open, but that lets in every bit of light that I can get.

[Jerhart]

Super cool man.

What is the bright white spot in the second picture? I can't stop going back to look at it...I keep scrolling up to lookk at it...the light...it has some...sort of hold...on me....

[Patrick Long]

That would be an oil barrack off the coast. I thought it gave a nice balance to have it smack dab in the middle.

I agree about the grainyness.

I imagine you used a tripiod. What was your exposure time?

What type of camera & lens setup are you using?

[Patrick Long]

Yeah it was a tripod for sure...exposure time I think was one was 25 and the other was 15. The lights on the pier forced me to reduce shutter time.

As far as Camera and lens

Just a Rebel XT and a Sigma 50mm f2.8 DG Macro Lens.


I am drooling over over the Canon 55-250mm.

I need some reach damnit! LOL

Very cool, that second shot is fantastic.
