Pictures contest - night pics

[Small White Car]

A 1 second exposure with a flash.

The long exposure lights up the background and the flash got our faces. We had to hold still or our faces would get mushy. The camera's on a trash-can with a 10-second timer.

Shot with a Canon 7D.


To get the shot we had to do it a half-doezn times which attracted the attention of 2 confused Disney employees. They were genuinely confused so I demoed the principle to them:

They did better at holding still than my daughter did.

^ Gosh, that is gorgeous. *Sigh*

What sort of camera are you using by the way?

A Canon..quite old..EOS20D with 17-85 mm

Those are great shots, SWC. I love the way the lighting works out. I'm guessing a standard digital camera couldn't pull this off, could it?
I'm using a Canon A590.

I'm using a Canon A590.

According to its online specs it has the important parts:

Manual shutter goes at least 1 second long.
A 10-second timer.
A flash.

I can't promise you they'll all work together, but it SHOULD work the same way with your camera.

Nice.

 

[TheSeeker]

Great shots so far everybody!

So, are we actually going to vote on these or is this just for fun? I don't really care if we vote or not but I like the idea of a rotating themed picture thread.

You're more expert than 8 am Why don't you chose a few and make a pool, I don't even know how to make one

Here are some night pics I took at Tokyo DisneySea...

Mount Prometheus:

This is the centerpiece of the park (its "castle"). It erupts periodically, and houses the Journey to the Center of the Earth and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea rides.

Mermaid Lagoon Port of Call, distance:

A Little Mermaid themed land ("ports of call" in the DisneySea vernacular).

Mermaid Lagoon, detail:

And on a recent trip to San Diego, I had a nice bayview room and played with the settings on my camera over a few nights....

The USS Midway (which is now a naval aviation museum) at sunset:

The USS Midway at night:

A cruise ship in port:

Various shots of the sun setting:

^ Love those! You achieved so much texture in the sky in shots 8, 9, and 10.

 

[auntiehill]

That second sunset shot is all kinds of awesome.

 

[Gil T.Azell]

How early in the night can they be?

 

[boco]

Actually I didn't had sunsets in my mind when I started this, but starting from sunset is ok for me
Love the volcano pic, Brian!
