Night Photos

chantal7 · Aug 12, 2008

Well, most of these I'm not a huge fan of how they turned out, especially some with the composition. But I just took them for fun anyway. Some of them I actually put effort into, though - :lmao:.

Discuss whatever you'd like

1. My favourite one

2. My second Favourite (not sure if i like the one with the tree in it better or not)

3. The one with the tree in the photo, on the right side

4.

5.

6.

7.

8. Just for fun, checking out what the casino lights would look like in a night photo.

nice shots! #1 is my favorite too but #6 also looks great hmm even though it looks like its leaning to the right again so are #4 and 5.

#2 looks quite charming lol i mean with the lampposts and flowers

you know I think small cities may not be as glamorous and busy during the night but they are charming and interesting in their own ways I guess

Yeah, it's leaning, again... my tripod was not on level ground. Here in Canada we don't know how to make level cement. lol.

lmao so there were either holes everywhere or the ground was tilting lol well at least you got a tripod course when I took my night pics I didnt have the luxury to use one :greenpbl: lol but of course I got a better lens which helped quite a lot

gotta get the focus and leveling down, its hard to look at them without getting dizzy.

I'm not sure what you mean?

I should have elaborated, sounded little gruff,

the focus looks off, but it may be a weird downscaling thing photobucket does but the leveling is really making me dizzy when I look at them, I think its the extreme light flare combined that makes it worse.

Hmm.... possibly... Is there another website to upload it at and compare? Maybe it is photobucket. I'm not sure what I could have done differently to fix that...

Oh, and maybe it's my camera. I have to take it down to get it fixed for some shutter problems (I think it's a shutter problem) Sometimes it works well for me, though. Maybe it's a little gimped in the focus too. ><

I think he is right the focus is kinda off in a few of them. did you use MF or AF? My camera has difficulty focusing in the dark sometimes so I had to use manual focus but it also could have been the shutter problem on your camera as you said

I used TV mode. It focused on it's own in the pictures. I still don't know how to correct this problem...

hmm it focuses even in a very dark area? well lol maybe I should try out the TV mode while shooting in the dark. I think the only way to correct the shutter problem is to repair your camera lol
