I like that, John. Good perspective and it's neat the way the sign is floating in black nothingness. I watched folks stand where you were snapping shots (usually with flash, <smirk). My guess is you got the best one of of the night, if not of the month.

Boss has been bugging me for a picture of bridge within eyeshot for 2 years, so I thought I'd post tonight's project. The astute will notice oversharpening (evident in branches). Result of my experimenting with sharpening for web and other devices, still rather new to me. The orig is ok.

GCR_105-BWL.jpg


Three exposures @ f5.6 ISO 100, 15 to 30 secs @ -2,0,+2 EV. Merged (no HDR). BW conversion, vignette blur applied, perhaps too much?

Cheers,
-Greg

<edit> note that I darkened this one a bit per Cem's suggestion previous page. I think it worked. Thanks, Cem.

Night photography is my favorite genre.

Here are two images I recently captured for a book project commission. The subject of the book is Magdalena Abakanowicz's "Agora" installation in Chicago. The book will reach Europe (Spain first) in March, 2008 and should reach the U.S. by May, 2008.

Techie junk: I used a Canon 1Ds Mark II and an EF 85mm f/1.2L (first version) lens for both images.

I too do love photographing in the dark! Here are two that I like, the first one for the general character of the image, the second one for the colours that made themselves visible in the (longer) exposure.


"Oh, sweet night"
(Canon 1DIIN, EF 50mm L)


"Mossgas"
(Canon 1DIIN, EF 28-300mm L)

P.S. Some excellent images posted here thus far by the other posters!

Not the best, but a recent one from my M8. No tripod, so rested on the safety rail of the bridge I was on for the 8 second exposure:

These are the quintesscence of DisneyLand. Beautiful color and larger than life fantasy. It's interesting that some people become fanatic about Disneyland and religiously go on as many rides as one can squeeze in before the gates close at midnight or whenever, forsaking decent food and friends just to get in one more ride!

To me, the spectacle of the grand parade is what's so special and watching people so thrilled at riding around at the end of some crazy centrifuge!

I like your pictures and it shows that you actually use your 1DIII!

Yes Asher My 1DMKIII is not just to have a matching set with My 1DsMKIII like a set of book ends. I do actually shoot both!

Those are almost impossible to take...excellent! No flash allowed, and it's pitch black in the Haunted Mansion. WOW - Will, now I have to add that Ds MkIII to my wish list.

Will, the ISO 6400 night shots are so impressive but they are reduced in size considerably. How is the noise at this sensitivity? IOW, before downsizing!

What are you using or planning to use for images that need the resolution and you will not downsize?

Bonjour Kathy

your wish for the 1Ds3 is so high that you haven't noticed that Will's picture here are from 1D3…

BTW let me mention that the Bilbao Guggenheim picture upthere has been shot with the 1Ds3 wide open at 1600 ISO…, no tripod, no noise reduction in camera, so clean…
