Strangers in the night

Well, not really! I joined a new photography group and went for a night shoot. Confession: This is the first time I've shot in manual mode and the first time I've shot at night. There, I said it. I'm really excited about joining this group and hope to learn a lot. Well, let's put it this way....I learned more in a few hours last night than I've learned in two years.

Thanks for stopping by and for your comments. They mean a lot.

Wow! How exciting for you. I know how scary shooting in manual can be. I started doing it last summer. It was a steep learning curve. Good luck!

[👑 AnaZad]

Yes, really exciting for you. That's a big first in both counts. Great composition and capture.

This turned out great, Cindy. It's a beautiful night shot. Enjoy your photography group. It sounds like you've learned a lot already.

Fabulous night capture, great composition

[Danette Thompson]

Wonderful! Looking forward to more shots!

[Bev]

Nice shot. I've shot in manual before but I can never figure out the shutter speed and aperture to balance if I need it to. This man looks like he's giving you that "come hither" look!

[Cathy]

Awesome! I am so glad you found a photo group to be a part of! I will be excited to see what all you are learning! This is a great night shot!

[Denise Wood]

You've captured his face well, despite his dark skin.

Instant fav, Cindy. Fabulous night street scene. You couldn't have done any better. How nice to join this group, but your photos (manual or not) have always been an inspiration to me.

[Leana Niemand]

This is lovely Cindy, great light and tones.

[Graham Thresher]

Fabulous shot

Super nighttime capture

Great night scene - made so much more interesting with the fellow in the foreground. He looks slightly bemused!
