Ebony Moonset

Yes its a car. Actually I think there were two cars. I did a lot of experimentation with night shooting from that location. This was about 4 AM in the morning. I was driving to the airport to catch an early flight back to Colorado. I decided to make one last stop by the river on the way.

Taking photos in the dark is not an easy thing to do. Its hit and miss with a lot more misses than hits. Even under a full moon, framing an image is a challenge. Focusing the lens is even more so. For the most part autofocus doesn't work at all and its tricky doing it manually. And then you confront the problem of getting the right exposure.

Bottom line, this may not be great art, but I had a ton of fun taking it.
