night pictures
I Couldn't sleep last night so I took some night photos:
The camera has a high sensitivity mode which basically means it keeps the shutter open for 4-6 seconds. You have to hold the camera really still or it all comes out shaky:
So I sat the camera on the concrete base of a light pole in order to get some tripod emulation and I was really surprised at the quality of the picture, keeping in mind this parking lot was pitch black with the exception of the street light in the corner:
The road has a kind of quiet stillness at this time of night, with no traffic or pedestrians. It feels sort of spooky, like a ghost town. I think I always liked that about the night because it made it feel more like it was all my own.
the population of the city streets dwindle and you don't have to share that space with all those people rushing about in the day time. Of course, this might not be as true in a major urban area It's one of the nice things about a small city, the spaces in between people are greater, talking in terms of physicality.
