about pitch black out. even the cloud cover kills the starlight... This was about the most i could muster out of it..
i took all these tonight while driving around within a three hours of eachother. How quick the light leaves.....
about five oclock for the waterfall and already pretty dark, then about six oclock on the traffic real dark now, the last one a little before eight id guess of the tree... could barely see a thing at that point and far enough from any populations out there not much residual light of any kind. i do like the pic of the tree and all the barren looking land in the dark around it. Think im going to go back out there and shoot that again, maybe a couple hours earlier though so it is dark but not THAT dark...
2 and 3 are heavily underexposed and #3 is an out of focus mess unfortunately. I'd suggest investing in a tripod and allowing the shutter to run to brighten up a scene like this.
