Improving the Night Photography
Arizona Photography, Phoenix Area Photography No CommentsI 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.
