Great series. I love night shooting and do not do it nearly enough. Great job!!

Wow! Great series of images. Number's 1,3, & 4 are my favorite.

Thank you very much.

The moon distracting? Not for me. The haziness of the moon gives the overall image a "night time" quality which is ethereal, in addition to a great achitecture shot. These are great shots, and the first and last are outstanding IMO.

Thanks for your comments. I see your point regarding the moon, maybe it is better with the moon in the shot.

I like them all Frank - time well spent. The Bay Bridge is favorite. It's one of the few bridges I have not actually crossed in the Bay Area.

Thanks, Dave. Next time you're in the Bay Area, let me know and we'll take a drive on the bridge out to Treasure Island.

nice shots, but the bridge shot wins it by a mile, fantastic shot

Thank you.

Love the first one with and without the moon. Were these part of your "homework" for your class? You are still taking a class, right?

Yes, I am still taking the photography classs and I took these shots for my homework. Currently our assignment is color. We have two things to focus on - one is bright color, the other is muted or monochromatic color - but not black and white. One of my bright color shots I posted here https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/post-your-photos/53307-orange.html For muted or monochromatic color, I decided to try night photography. Colors are more muted at night and I think pic number 4 is a good example of what the instructor is looking for. We have to turn in 20-25 shots for the assignment - and to get that many shots to turn in, I'll have to take several hundred shots.

wow, great shots! i love that 1st building shot and the bay bridge one too.

Thanks Mike

Great series. I love night shooting and do not do it nearly enough. Great job!!

I also like night photography - the class I'm taking is a good excuse to go out at night and hopefully improve my technique.

Those are terrific pictures....I have a feeling a few of us might be inspired to pick up the camera at night after seeing these shots.

Love that bay bridge shot! Great tones and texture in it.

Ditto !!! This is one of the best bridge shots I have seen, great work !!

Nice architectural composition but Like specially the bridge and the mood best.

Amazing bridge shot!

First shot reminds of something you'd see in a Batman movie, I like.

[gawan]

As many others, I like the first and the bridge shot! I kinda liked the moon in the first shot!

Frank, these are all great shots, but the first and last are my favorites. They're almost abstract in their composition.

Very interesting shots.
