N_on lights on the ___quee Cinema

Get Pushed Challenge #558
My partner challenged me to do night photography. After a nice supper with a friend (including dessert), we waited until the sun went down and headed to town. I thought the neon lights on the movie theater might make a good subject. The trees from my vantage point were more problematic than the street lights which lit up the scene more than I expected. Hard to get a scene without trees. But my friend and I had fun.

@farmreporter Thank you for the challenge. It was fun. Took a number of shots to try and get the shutter speed right while keeping the ISO low.

Very cool, Kathy!!
Is this a hand held shot? You are very steady if it is for such a long shutter speed!!
Well done and A FAV!

[Kathy]

@farmreporter Thanks Wendy. No. I used my tripod. One of the pieces of advice in the article you suggested.

It took me a minute to figure your title out! Clever play on the photo. It’s a lovely night scene in spite of the missing lights.

Lovely bw shot

[Mary Siegle]

Clever title! And super night photo. I'll have to take a few lessons from you on how to get good pictures after dark. How could you have possibly done that at 100 ISO?!

[Margaret Brown]

A nice night shot, good you had fun!!

[Pyrrhula]

Great shot of the lights in a dark night city.

Thank you one and all for all the great comments. Mary, to answer your question, I used a tripod.

Lovely night shot.

[Mary Siegle]

@randystreat Ack! Of course. I hate using my tripod, but after viewing this I saw some other stunning images Taffy @taffy did at night and they were at 100 ISO at varying long shutter speeds. I think I will try to find the right subject and do some experimenting.

[Kathy]

@mcsiegle Play with the settings. It doesn't cost anything but your time.

@haskar Thank you Hannah.
