Another day of playing with my friend Terri. Yesterday we went to shoot in one of her favorite places and today it was my turn to play guide. She told me that what she wanted was some night shots of Portland. Actually, night isn't really right, she wanted shots at dusk when the sky still holds some color but when the lights in the buildings highlight the city.
Unfortunately the first spot I selected didn't work out but thankfully it was readily apparent that it was a dud so we moved on to plan B and it turned out to be a great choice. We started shooting together but I wanted something different because I have a number of cityscapes already. I hope you enjoy the results, for my part I found it to be a very fun evening.

OMG, I've been skunked again. The traffic lights and the black are stunning.
ReplyDeleteThese are just beautiful. I'm taking a class in night photography this month, and I'll be thrilled if I can get anything half as good as these. So much drama here ... (Terri is an old--make that long-time--friend of mine.)
ReplyDeleteTerri - here I was thinking I was the one who was skunked :)
ReplyDeleteMelaney - thank you for the kind words!
love the hdr! adds so much to the typical extended exposure highway shot.
