Nocturnal? Let's see your night photos!

This is photo was taken in front of a store, in a village of Oaxaca, called Santa María Cuquila. Back in the days was a spot for aztec comerciants in a route that connected them with goods from the coast of Oaxaca.



back in the back is the Ayuntamiento, where traditional gov't rules. no political parties are allowed there


and this is their church, dominican monks built it up in the 18th Century



not bad for a 30 dollar camera

Watching fireworks this past weekend.

^^ great shot

My niece in Mississippi



Sunset on the Columbia River



Fur Rendezvous in Anchorage

The only night shot from last weekend's ride.

I took this one at night and using a flash, so I guess I can consider it as a "night photo!"

Went up a couple of days ago specifically to try my hand at some night photography, something I've been taking an interest in. Learned a lot, had fun and it was just great riding/being there.














Waiting for the stars to come out

Handheld long exposure, Cutalossa Farm sheep shed.

Central Iowa storm...

I quess that is what you would call it.

Sorry for the graininess, my camera doesn't like the dark. Time to upgrade!

Awesome
Please share your camera settings

Thanks
Fred

Thanks Fred. As kenny61 pointed out there are a number of programs for viewing the EXIF data or you could just follow the link back to my smugmug page and hit the info button. I generally leave the info attached to the photo so anyone can see if interested, trust me, no big secrets as to my technique and I've learned a lot from viewing others.

Basically except the last photo I was shooting 30 sec exposures wide open (F3.5) at ISO 1600-3200. I tried others but this was the best compromise for noise. I've got a remote shutter release ordered so I can try bulb mode next time for longer exposures at lower ISOs, right now 30sec is the longest my camera will do with the standard shutter release.

This outing just wet my appetite to experiment more with this sort of thing.

I have shot many shots like these too but even at iso100 too much noise.
I will have to try 1600 and see how that works.

Also your f stop was 3.5 for all three shots is this wide open for that lens?

Thanks for the info

Fred

Yeah 3.5 is wide open, it's just a kit lens(18-55) Planning to upgrade at some point, but still figuring out how much money in glass I want to carry around on my bike

I'm going to run the risk of starting a war here (not my intention) but I recently switched to Nikon from Canon specifically for quite an advantage in dynamic range and low noise in comparable sensors. Of course in processing the Raw image I applied quite a bit of noise reduction software as well as limiting the size you get to view it at, there's still noise there, just an acceptable amount to me for the situation. I'd still like to do better.

I'm going to assume if you don't like 100 on your camera you'll probably hate 1600.

Thanks for the info
Keep up the good photos

Fred
