More Night Photography

I love that time in the evenings when the sun has dropped behind the skyline but the sky still has a hint of blue left in it. Using long exposures brings out the color of the sky for some dramatic photography.

I found myself on the south waterfront here in Portland a few nights ago. The light was perfect for only about a half hour so I had to shoot fast. Photography can be so dramatic. The blue of the sky and the yellow of this crane made for a great photo. I tend to shoot with a very wide angle lens, I like to capture as much of a scene as I can. These are my favorites from that night.

I have been shooting at night quite a bit lately. Its a good time for me to shoot because of my busy schedule and because I love night photography so much. These exposures were around 45 seconds long. Not huge in terms of night photography but longer than your normal exposure. I think the images are a strange blend of day and night because of the blue sky and the lights on in the buildings. It makes me wonder exactly when they were taken. Hope you like them.
