I love Vancouver. Great night shots.

Okay,

I don't want to hijack this thread, but can someone explain the mechanics behind night shots like this? I'm going crazy trying to figure them out.

All you need is a tripod and a slow shuter (long exposure time).

Beautiful stuff. What kind of camera did you get?

rmphoto · Jan 11, 2005

contax. with 50mm ziess planar

to the guy asking how... just tripod it, get a remote shutter release, and find some interesting scenes... experiment with shutter times to get what you want...

i just picked up a 8point star filter... should be fun for night.

to be honest, day shots just bore me now... night is where its at..

thanks for the comments!

Those are some nice clear night shots. What camera did u use? tripod? The last one I especially like. Nice composition.

Seems like everytime I try to do night shots, people seem to look more suspicious than in the daytime..

yeah i hear ya... i try not to wonder the city in the middle of the night alone with all my gear. but sometimes i just cant help myself.

i like those a lot. my favorite one is the fountain... and i agree, there's something about night shots that normally just looks cooler than day shots.

oh yeah, I'm the guy who asked. I have a Contax G1 with the 45mm Zeiss Planar. I was just surprised cuz your pics were so sharp. Thought it was a Canon DSLR or something...
