Other local night shots:





Some more of my night work.

 

Chris, I'm glad you made it out last night. What was that factory? What did they do?

 

It was a Wood Mill, i was the one who reminded him about it

 

Here's a night shot from the other day in front of my house

 

These night shots are so cool looking

 

Sweet! Did you guys go in?

 

I finally ordered one of those bendy leg tripods. They make one rated to hold a dSLR. I'm always kicking myself when I don't lug around my tripod and it gets dark and I can't take the pics I want to take.... hopefully this will suffice in those situations.

 

No. i got tired and i asked to go home, so he took me home, and he was stoped by the onsite security pretty fast. Chris said he wasnt there long and then chris was asked to leave.

Please tell me you were listening to some old Black metal when taking these pictures?!

 

Nope, but I kinda wish we had been!

 

Here's a few from tonight. I never knew about night shots until this thread, these are my 1st attempt. No editing was done and if you have any suggestions let me know. I know they look really yellow but that's because of the lights in the parking lot. And the whole sky looks like that too. I think it's due to all the snow, low clouds and university parking lot lights.

 

It's called white balance - look into it

 

Badass pictures!

 

change the white balance to inncodence (sp?) and it wont look so yellow

 

What the hell. I never knew Arizona got snow!?!

Incident light means incoming light, so that would mean you can filter "out" the yellow...? Cool!

 

I think he meant "incandescent". The best bet for these since you had nice pristine snow would be to have the camera evaluate the white balance by aiming at the snow.
