Great thread and great photo!

Man, I'm a night owl, I'd love to take some nocturnal photos outdoors but I live in too scary an area to be going out there alone in the middle of the night :(

lungfarmer: i know what you mean. this was quite a safe rural station.
i was semi-prepared for the inevitable police car turning up and
a ??? session lol.

LaFoto: thats cool! - maybe i can sned your sister any obscure
photos of rarer uk payphones. this one is of course the 'old-school' design,
(although lacking the urine, burnt phonebooks, dropped take-way, and puke of their 1970's peak! :0). these phoneboxes were widely scrapped
about hmm.. 15 years ago , but retained in leafy suburbs and in the
ouristy areas of central London. this one is the usual GPO Red. sometimes
they are black or even white. (You occasionally see them stashed in eccentric's gardens, bought from some scrap dealer)

Digital Matt: i like the last picture. the sky is a crazy color.
nice photo and good angle of shot !

[jack]

this photo is nice to study LaFoto!
i was looking half looking at it and thinking the old 3 or 4 storey townhouses
on the left looked german but also thinking hmm that really looks like edinburgh castle - then i saw the caption :0) d'oh

ive used enough XP2 now, to realise that the 'lab' - high street developer
i might choose, can really affect the tonal quality of the negs.
this one and the rest on a roll of 24 (Shot in different places, at different times of day) are quite muggy and thick.

im going to post some handheld 125/sec ones i took while bike-couriering
in London the other day. these are even thicker.

one of them has a black GPO phone box it actually (outside Embankment station)



A phone booth!
Yay!
My sister would be delighted. For years she's had a little "private collection" going on of phone booths all over the world. She takes photos of each and everyone she sees - and letter boxes, too.
But one seen and photographed at night? I can't remember having seen any among her many, many photos - ever.

And its a great pity that the absolute only nocturnal photo that I have was taken with my camera, yes, but not by myself, but by my very sister, so credit goes to her:

I've always found it a blast to take pictures at night with my tripod while standing in the middle of a huge crowd. I have done that. My family really loves that too I can tell you.

Try that on a street corner in Las Vegas. Then ask your friends if they are having fun yet.

The first one is from Las Vegas and the people I was with were ready to kill me by the time I finished my roll of film.

The second one is from a fancy strip mall where no family members or friends enjoyment was harmed in the taking of that picture.

And my thanks to LaFoto for giving me encouragement for post in old Theme threads. :D

This was my first night shot.. using my Canon EOS-10D. I saw the plane, and thought it'd make a good subject.. just didn't know I'd get such an awesome sky to boot! (I couldn't really see the clouds.. it was too dark..)

Those are all of my attempts on this subject title.

[LaFoto]

There already existed a theme-thread on nighttime photography, so I merged the newly started one with the existing one.
Please make sure you thoroughly check the Index given (sticky!) for themes that are already there before you start a new theme thread.

[LaFoto]

Right, I used to have a collection of my own nighttime (or NOCTURNAL) photos on here, but the links were no longer working, so here is one of my earliest attempts at capturing light trails, which is no good really, but I was only trying:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/LaFoto/Night%20shots/AralROWbeiNacht.jpg

And another one with the Powershot (which means: taken in the pre-DSLR-times) on the tiny desk-tripod I have (which at the time was the ONLY tripod I had at all)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/LaFoto/Night%20shots/BahnhofROWbeiNacht_2.jpg

But the following three are newer ones, though they are no longer "new" in so far as I took them last year in December, two in Bremen...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/LaFoto/Night%20shots/Bremen-Weihnachtsmarkt.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/LaFoto/Night%20shots/Bremen-Weihnachtsmarkt2.jpg

... and this one in Hamburg (it is a detail of the Town Hall at night):

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/LaFoto/Night%20shots/HH_044_RathausDetail.jpg

Somewhere there ought to also be some more light trail photos, but I can't find them just now.

[LaFoto]

Ah, just found yet another one taken with the Powershot, however at times when I already HAD my 350D, but had not brought the big tripod, and the mini tripod does not carry the 350D, so it had to be the Powershot, and it was automatically this funny POV, very low:

http://www.fastpictures.com/images/AnniRocS/brandenburgnacht.jpg

Not too hard to tell how many car passed while I took this photo, right ;) ;) ;).

Actually, upon looking through my CDs where I store older photos of mine, I found a good many other night photos, which I might feel tempted to upload again just for the fun of this very thread. We shall see.

Ah, and just one of the Hamburg Port pics from July 2006 which I have always liked quite a bit myself:

http://www.fastpictures.com/images/AnniRocS/hhhafennacht.jpg

[LaFoto]

Dang, this revived "NOCTURNAL"-thread does not leave me alone. So I thought about WHEN I took photos at night, and remembered, hey: I took quite a few when in NYC and Washington DC last year in April, and why not undig those and revive those, too?

So here are quite a few now:

Guess where then :D

http://www.fastpictures.com/images/AnniRocS/timessquare1.jpg
(Handheld pic with the Powershot - I was so rushed when I wanted to take these but DH was hungry and tired and had sore feet and whatnot... :roll: )

http://www.fastpictures.com/images/AnniRocS/timessquare2.jpg
3.2 second exposure as opposed to...

http://www.fastpictures.com/images/AnniRocS/timessquare3.jpg
... 1/13th exposure.

[LaFoto]

And more, no need to explain to any Americans what they show, is there?
Others may ask and I'll tell:

My first attempt at night shots .....

This is what I went to shoot. My 30mm f1.4 lens the pics are very clear. This was taken with my Sigma 500-50mm f4-6.3 Lens. Not so clear have to do some work on it in Aperture. How I know it is my tripod, my two larger lenses were horrid photos. I know there were a few other reasons. Here is one of the photos that were so so, I never thought to turn off auto focus, why the long list of mistakes of things I learned. I may try and get back sooner than later, the air temperature affects the way the exhaust leaves the stacks. Would do a summer shoot also but has to be cold to get the better shots i feel.

I just love this type of photography, only problem is that its a bit dangerous and people dont like it when you stand around with a tripod pointing your camera at their building at night :D One example is below when i took the photo of the guys house (3rd photo) he wanted to see each and every photo that i took and also the pool area (photo 5) the one guy also got a bit aggresive, then i showed him that you cant even see his face anyway because he moved to much, then he was happy :)

Here are some of myne:

the last one i'd like the feedback the most. i've learned that by utilizing flash on shots with motion will freeze the subject. i tried a few but with a not so desired effect. i've seen some really cool shots with flash so can you guys throw me some pointers?

Link gone :(

[wchua24]

[youbetcha1018]

Yeah, the first photo looks a bit scary to me.:confused: But it's awesome, especially how you managed the lighting. The last photo did not impressed me that much.

By setting the flash to rear mode, you can really freeze the action. A lot of fun to ply around with.

[tenlientl]

That's a cool pic. The soccer player. What exposure settings did you use?(correct term?)

Shutter, aperture? What lens? I have a weird way of learning. I have to compare things to understand how it works.

[lila.dream]

I always find it hard to take pictures at night. How can I do it??

[esszeeeye]

I use my AF illuminator to hunt animals in the dark

and a monopod to stabilize shots..a tripod would be better.

A theme thread on "NOCTURNAL" or night photography has been existing in our Photo Themes for years, so I merged the new thread with the existing one.

[Hobbes]

I didn't even know that there is a name for night photography :D anyway here is a few of mine and since I've already made a thread about my night photos I wont post too many of them in here. Most of them were taken handheld.

btw great shots everyone

My photography ranges from anything from models, nature, and casual photo snapping, to the darkest and creepiest places on earth. Actually, thats my favorite hobby. I sneak into dark, creepy, dangerous, and normally security infested locations, for my art and personal sense of satisfaction you get from sneaking into a building nobody has been able to get into for 40 years, and you're the one to do it.
NO, I AM NOT A GHOST HUNTER, NOR DO I BELIEVE IN GHOSTS
I just think of it as an exciting way of reliving the recent past by photographing the beauty of its decay. Some people call it trespassing.
I call it urban exploring...

And now, a few old photos (before i took photography seriously) of the place closest to my heart.
Philadelphia State Hospital AKA Byberry R.I.P

I hung out here for years, went literally hundreds of times, I even spent a week living there. It was a hangout for explorers from all over east coast, and even the world! I met people there from south africa, canada, europe, and even australia. Not to mention all the hordes of people from the city, known as byberrians.
It was good times and she will be missed
