Good evening from Ottawa!
Tonight a couple photography friends and I gathered on an abandoned railroad bridge over the Ottawa River in hopes of capturing the city skyline and its reflections with our cameras.
The perfect time to photograph a city and its lights at night is during the minutes before and after sunset. At that time there is still enough light in the sky to highlight the colours, texture and details of the buildings while the backdrop, the sky, remains a dark blue.
Here are the specs from todays image:
Gear used: Nikon D700 camera with Nikkor 24-70mm lens f/2.8. Tripod and cable release needed.
Image captured at ISO 200, f/10, 8-10sec exposure
Thanks France for the idea - just wished there was a splash of purple in tonights sky.
Any time, Claus!! I'll try to uncover other interesting spots for "blue hour" photography and I'll make sure to ask for some clouds next time you're in town:-) Hopefully they'll help in getting the pink/purple colors you were hoping for.
