Downtown Colors

My wife has been out of town on a business this past week.  Last night on the way to pick her up at the airport I stopped downtown along the river with camera and tripod to take some exposures.  The reflections make the city look bigger.

It's been about a year since last doing night shots downtown.  Just when I was beginning to have fun I realized I needed to get to the airport. 

Lately the desire to do photography has all but dried up.  Going to a different location and going in the evening has given a boost to the desire.

  2. Hi Mike, you definitely need to try something different and vary the subjects otherwise it tends to get boring. The change in seasons help a lot.

  3. I loved these. I need to take more evening shots, I have no experience with them, so it is time I learned!
