I basically went all over the city tonight finding some places to take pics....beautiful 70 degree evening...

these are preivew pics so the quailty is considerably reduced...

for absolutely mongo and very high quailty pics, hit up my gallery (when you click on each pic you will see a link for "full size photo&quot

 

wow, beautiful pix. Great job!!!

 

WOOOOO, haf!! Those rocks my world!!

I need to commission you to photograph my MINI!

 

Very cool pics...nicely done.

 

Very noce Haf :smile:
I especially like the Palm Tree..... ones

 

Thanks Hafid--what a great eye!

Really enjoyed the pics...and these are "rough" versions?

Great idea, most excellent execution. What city are you in?

 

Those are beautiful pictures! Long exposures are my favorite. I like how everything has a beautiful glow. BTW, how did you get through the gate to take a picture in front of my maid's quarters? LOL

 

Gorgeous!!! When can you come over to Jersey and take some "glamour shots" of my little Nittany?

 

Haf
Really liked the pix, AND really like the wheels, what are they?????

Nice work! What camera & specs? Color balance is very nice...

 

Bueno.

You should make a calendar.

 

hafid is just beating all of us to the punch to make it into NAMs calendar next year. I guess we have our work cut out for us.

 

Mucho Very Nice Haf! It was definately worth the loss of sleep to make those.

hey haf, these look great!! It really was beautiful out yesterday. Where was this photo taken at?

 

Excellent stuff there, Haf.

 

Tattman agrees, yet again, with D... The tree-lined boulevard pics are terrific. Should be on a CD jacket - very nice indeed.

Woah Dude!

 

You guys are way too nice....here's the story....boredom can do some wonderful things. I'd been wanting to take some night shots for a while but didn't know where....over the course of a few months, I started remembering spots where I thought it would make for a cool picture.. hence what you have above.

Camera: Canon S45 - all shots in Manual mode....varying exposure lengths...most being about 1.5-2 seconds. The parking garage shots are 1/2 second...aperture is around 2.8 for most. I of course used a tripod. I dislike using the flash at night...it's pointless in pics like these.

I live in Scottsdale but these are all over Phoenix Metro.

Sambusik: That's an OFFICE building if you can believe that on Scottsdale Rd just north of Mc Dowell.

Minizilla: Wheels are ADR M Classic 17x7.5

Spoonleg & Jerseygirl...if I'm ever in the area, we'll do a photoshoot for your car!

hafid, thanks for the info. Manual mode & available light are the ways to go, you have an excellent understanding how to use that camera. Flash would destroy the ambience of night shooting.

 

dandp, thanks for your comments. and btw i still love your sig pic...i remember the first time i saw that i thought "what great composition!" i've seen some of your work, very nice indeed.

I must say I had to be sneaky in a couple of these pics. There are some resorts out here that I would LOVE to shoot at but unless I get the OK from security, it's hard to setup and take the shot without security saying "can I help you?" The b&w pic above was taken at a resort, but that's all I had time for before thinking I had to leave.....the color version didn't work out as well, hence I dropped the color.

btw, for those who don't live here, the very first pic is the Phoenix Public Library.

WOOHOO! But I won't hold my breath.

 

Sterling photographs, absolutely wonderful.

Did you do much processing in Photoshop?

 

BEAUTIFUL shots! Thanks for sharing!

 

WORD....
