Evening kick! by orangecrush

Evening kick!

I need to get up earlier! With the time change, its dark before I get off work! I really respect you guys that can take great shots at night! I need some tips and fast! ;o) I have so many ideas but they need to be shot in the daylight! I hope you can bare with me!
This is a shot of the Starbucks drive-thru I stopped at tonight for a yummy Salted Caramel Mocha! Mmmm!
Great idea! Cool shot. I'd say you are off to a great night shoot start!

Great shot! Very nice idea!
November 17th, 2011  
I can just imagine the calorie count on that one - but it sounds so yummy! I need to stay away from Starbucks, I need to stay away from Starbucks.... ;-)
November 17th, 2011  
great catch Jerry, embrace the darkness!!!!
November 17th, 2011  
this is cool!
November 17th, 2011  
I am so glad other people are having a tough adjustment. I think I need a tripod to stop using fillers this week.
November 17th, 2011  
I had a Caramel Brulee Latte today! It was so yummy! I'm going to try the Salted Caramel Mocha tomorrow! Love the low POV! I know night shots are so hard--I am going to buy a good tripod, remote clicker and pray a lot! :-)
November 17th, 2011  
Great picture. I am having a hard time too. I have been cheating by changing my otherwise bad indoor lighting shots into black and white! Very cool idea!!
November 17th, 2011  
I know I have been to a lot of Starbucks When I figured that out before I even read your comment on the pic. I love the Peppermint Hot Chocolate at this time of the year

@catwhiskers Thank you, Cat! Your too kind!
@crispypringles4 Thank you, Amped!
@russianblue Lol! I dont want to think about it! It was a venti, too! ;P
@rich57 Might be a good personal challenge! Thanks, Richard!
@annaruth Thank you, Anna!
@brumbe Oh, the fillers! Me too! What to do, what to do!
November 17th, 2011  
Sneaky shot and great focus!! I wonder what they will think if they look at the security camera! Lol
November 17th, 2011  
@orangecrush I decided that for the time being I have to just accept my limitations and work really hard on the weekend to get the photos I want. I guess I may have to start "studio" style in the next few weeks.
November 17th, 2011  
@lorihiro Hahaha! I'm going to have a Caramel Brulee Latte tomorrow then! :D I'm so glad I'm not alone with this time change!
@cohare Thats a good idea! The lighting is horrible in my house for indoor shots!
@bkbinthecity That's my daughters favorite! I still love your idea about visiting a new Starbucks every time!
November 17th, 2011  
@shutterbugger Lol! I know! I'm such a chicken, too!
November 17th, 2011  
@brumbe I know! I think its time for an adjustment!
November 17th, 2011  
I actually like this one alot, Jerry. It sure is a lot better than anything I took today. I too am suffering from the time change/dark too early with a bunch of rain to boot. I gave up and posted a filler tonight. I'm coming back later to see what tips everyone else offers. Thanks for opening a discussion about a subject that alot of us are feeling!

mag
nice job jerry...see..you don't need much daylight....
November 17th, 2011  
@orangecrush We really need to get to a new one. It seems that lately I have spent so much time downtown and we have been going to the same one.
November 17th, 2011  
Great shot! Am I the only person that has never purchased anything from any Starbuck's on the planet?
November 17th, 2011  
mmmm sounds delish and what a great idea for a photo! it would be impossible for you to take a bad photo....your stuff is always amazing, even a shot of a drive thru window!! lol
November 17th, 2011  
Great capture
November 17th, 2011  
this is such a cool capture...love it
November 17th, 2011  
spectacular !!-i can give you tips on how to stop drinking coffee for good 'tho-----seriously ! :)
November 17th, 2011  
I like the focus - it looks warm and inviting inside too! I am having a little trouble with the early nights too- will try some night shots soon... Until then the pups will help me out! ;-)
November 17th, 2011  
Yum yum!!! Great pov!
November 17th, 2011  
Cool shot.I love that drink - but I get mine half sweet. Apparently it's a seasonal offering and it's not available here anymore so I have moved on to my signature peppermint white mocha (half sweet as well) - worth a try! :)
November 17th, 2011  
Great shot! Love the interesting play in focus.
November 17th, 2011  
nice framing and focus
November 17th, 2011  
Mmmm Starbucks! Great shot! love it for sure. :]
November 17th, 2011  
Wonderful shot. It's like you are a small kid peeping through the window wishing you were inside
November 17th, 2011  
@lauriehiggins Thanks, Laurie! I feel so much better knowing I'm not alone! :)
@maggotx Lol! Thanks, Mag!
@bkbinthecity Very familiar sounding! I have one that knows what I drink! Nooo! That means I'm going to the same one too much! ;P
@bdb3471 What?!! Of course you are! If you lived in San Diego, I would buy you one tomorrow!
@kdimagery Lol! Thank you, Kd! Your too kind! ;)
@kerristephens Thank you, Kerri!
@angievega Thank you, Angie!
@jodimuli I just learned how to start! Maybe I'll hit you up for tips in a year or so! ;o)
@alovelycupoftea Ahhh! Gotta love getting rescued by the pups! Mine never fails me when I need a shot!
@cheyrebecca Thank you, Cheyenne!
@kimbitner Oooo! Sounds good too! Half sweet sounds even better!
@pocketmouse Thank you, Teresa! :)
@hjbenson Thanks, Harry! :)
@bullion3 Thank you, Melissa! :)

November 17th, 2011  
great night shot - and I think from here on in, we're all practising night shot - no option
November 17th, 2011  
This is just plain fantastic Jerry. Well done mate.
November 17th, 2011  
Very crisp image.
November 17th, 2011  
Good one! I like the focus and composition
November 17th, 2011  
Great shot, night shots without a tripod, up the ISO right up, that should do it.
November 17th, 2011  
Nice composition and shot :)
November 17th, 2011  
Great shot, the girl on the left looks like she's wondering what your up to, lol! I am yet to master night shots, no good at all!
November 17th, 2011  
I'm hopeless also.....goodluck to you but I like this alot!
November 17th, 2011  
Not a great night shooter- love how you composed this- makes you want to go in and see what's going on:)
November 17th, 2011  
what a fantastic shot... i love the focus of this!
November 17th, 2011  
Very interesting shot. Wonderful composition too.
November 17th, 2011  
I really like the outside looking in perspective of this. It looks so warm and cozy in there:)
November 17th, 2011  
Nice Jerry...I'm the same way...its o'dark thirty when I get going. I've got plenty of night shots in my project ;-)
November 17th, 2011  
Your shots are always great, no matter when they are taken :)
November 17th, 2011  
Cool shot :)
November 17th, 2011  
I think this is a great night time shot! Fabulous composition
November 17th, 2011  
Mmmmmm yummmmm i love starbucks.. eggnog latte :) great shot
November 18th, 2011
