I have been practicing my night photography skills again.  This time at Tempe Town Lake in Tempe, AZ.  As I get the hang of combining the right shutter speed and f-stop I feel that I am making progress.  I came away with several shots from Saturday night’s shoot that I was happy with.  Some of the longer shutter speeds (around 8.0 seconds) have some visible noise so I will need to focus on reducing that if possible next time.

A note on Tempe Town Lake:  This is a great spot to photograph during the day.  But at night the lighting on the shore that reflects into the lake and the bridges is awesome to photograph.  There is also a lot of activity in this area which makes for some cool shots.
