Hello Big D and thanks.—Steve

Thanks Shellbee. Night shots could become addictive.—Steve

Hello Terri. This was the first time I have gone out for night shooting and it can become addictive I think. A good friend asked if he could tag along and since I was pretty nervous about being on the LA beach alone at 2am I was glad to have him there. But as you can see, I put him to work. I used low ISO to keep the noise down and high f stop to get the depth. I used the BULB setting on the camera so the shutter stayed open until I told it to close. I used a remote trigger so there was no camera shake and then simply told him if he moved I would drown him. It worked! He kept still the whole time. Oh yes, I had a nice strong LED flashlight to shine on the places that were a bit dark. That is the white light you see. Hope that makes sense. Feel free if you have any other questions. Give it a try. Its a blast.—Steve

Hello Tina. Good to hear from you. And thanks.—Steve

Thank you Svetlana. Appreciate the viewing.—Steve

Cheers back Scott. Thanks.—Steve

Thank you John.—Steve

Thanks Jen.—Steve

jGreat. Thanks Vivian.—Steve

Hello, hello Cindy. Good to hear from you. And thanks.—Steve

LOL. Thanks. I was looking forward to you seeing this. And got it on reading the short commentary about taking it. If you have not taken night shots give it a try (like I am an expert getting out there once!). Its a whole different take on our art form.—Steve

Thanks so much for the view and great comment. Always welcome.—Steve

Thanks Shaun. I really enjoy the long exposure area. Somewhat like panning. You don’t know exactly what you’ll get until its in the camera.—Steve

Thanks Joanne. I take that as a compliment for certain. I don’t know about the wise part, but I try to see more in this life than the 9 to 5. —Steve

Hello Pip. Geat news. Thank you.—steve

Thanks much Debbie. Nice to meet you.—Steve

Hello Gene. Good to hear from you. And thanks.—Steve

Hey, thank you! Much appreciated.—Steve

Well thanks much. Kind of a landscape mixed with portrait. I like to hear you mention the spectator. I took the shot first without him and then realized I had not seen a night shot like this WITH a person. And so the addition, with I felt put the shot over the top. Thanks again.—Steve

hello Barb. Getting back to you late on this one. Sorry. And thanks for the great comment. Happy Holidays to you and yours.—Steve

Hello and happy holidays. Sorry for getting back to you so late on this, but thanks much for the great comment.—Steve

Hello and thank you. Agreed. I want to get out there sometime at night at point Dume (I think I have the name right), perhaps without a full moon. I have a feeling the stars might really show up as the place is hidden from the city lights. Happy Holidays. Stay warm!—Steve

Hello Philip. Thanks for the great comment. Appreciated.—Steve
