Night photos
Snapping photos is becoming a fun little hobby. I never know how long I will be inspired by an urge, so for the past week I’ve been trying to capitalize on my reinvigorated interest in cameras and photography to get out and take pictures. Watching too many YouTube camera reviews, I got interested in trying some long-exposure photos. On Wednesday night I bundled up and walked half a mile to the bridge near my house to try the technique. A few nights prior I tried an initial experiment, but both the lack of a tripod and my inability to focus through the optical viewfinder resulted in blurred images. I brought my recently purchased inexpensive tripod from Amazon to steady the camera and studied how to focus in manual mode with the rear display in 10x zoom (auto-focus is useless on my camera in the dark). Even better equipped, I only managed to salvage a few shots, but I’m pleased with the first effort. These were all shot with the EF 24mm/2.8, though I’d like to try again with the 50mm/2.0.
