Island of Lights

There is an article in one of my photography magazine about 'painting with lights' so I thought I would give it a try. I just put my camera on the floor facing up, set it to bulb mode,  and drew pictures with various lights while the shutter is open. It took a lot of practice, but I started to get the hang of it.

Calgary Traffic

This is another shot from my night drive. I have been wanting to try a long exposure shot to capture the lights of cars as they go past for a while. I found this nice spot with the cityscape in the background. I managed to time this shot just as the C-Train came past to add extra colour to some of the lights.

Langevin Bridge Lights

Chelsey I have been trying to find time to go for a night time drive around the city to get a few shots and to give me a chance to play with more of the settings on my new camera. I finally got the chance to sneak out for an hour this evening (unfortunately, without Chelsey). This is Langevin Bridge in Downtown Calgary.

Saddledome At Night

I went for a little drive this evening to try get some nice shots of the city at night. It took a while for me to figure out the right settings on my camera for the best result, but I am pleased with how this shot turned out.
