I love taking pictures in the dark. Not only is it challenging, but because of long exposure times you get some cool effects. Thursday night our Science Department sponsored it’s annual “Star Party” out on the athletic field. I decided to bring my camera and see what I could get. Keep in mind that the field was kept dark enough for star gazing. Here some of the better ones:
I took these earlier this month, when I was playing with my newly-rediscovered manual lens off the Nikon 35mm camera I’ve had since high school. For the first one I had the lights on in the office.
For the second one I turned off all the lights in the house, the only light came from the street lamp right on my property line.
And for this last one I turned on the green light in the ceiling fan on the porch.
On nice warm summer nights I love to sit on the porch with all the lights off and watch the cars drive by, wondering where they are going and why they are in such a hurry.
