NOCTURNAL aka NIGHT Photography

[Hobbes]

I didn't even know that there is a name for night photography 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.

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...

(a few of these may have been posted before)

Worcester State Hospital

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

Here you can see the above ground patient tunnels
There were also tons of underground tunnels

Dear friends and photographers,

I would like to invite you to join herewith your best night shot here.Night is charming and mysterious to me and it is also challanging and need some technical skills to capture the beauty of night.

You can see some example of my photography on the blog below



Focus Bangladesh


waiting for your reply.Thanks !!!

BLURRY!

however:

I took this fifteen minutes ago, i was outside having a smoke, and i looked over and saw a silhouette of a tree in my backyard against the city lights.

Well, there are 2 kinds of night shots for me... one taken at night, and ones that are taken in a dark location. Click on pics for larger sizes.

Night Shots:


And shots taken at a dark location (as in ISO 6400 @ F/4.5 @ 1/8th shutter speeds dark):


One doesn't really need great technical skills to take good night shots, just a tripod... or a camera that is clean at higher ISO and can get you into shutter speeds that avoid motion blur.

These should be in the Photo Themes, by all means. Any call for "Show all your..." with a certain theme should be in the themes. There is an existing theme called "Nocturnal aka Night Shots", and that's where this thread will be merged into. Now.
