An Evening to Remember
Nights to most photographers is time to process images or sleep. I was in both those groups until I took a class with Tony Sweet, a remarkable nature photographer. He's taught us to see differently in low light and NO light as well as other techniques to improve our photography. I'm so glad I'm here and that he's my instructor!
So last night I went out and tried my hand at "seeing in the dark." It's fun because you never really know how things will turn out. Every night and every scene is just a little different.
At Sunset Beach in Cape May, lives an old boat near an old changing room house. It's a great place to hit the beach and watch the sunset and it's usually inhabited by many a sunset seeker. After everyone left, a fellow student and I started working our newly learned techniques. Practice, practice, practice. . . When this popped into the LED, it was magic! I guess getting up early and going to bed late does make for great nature images!
Portraits at night, anyone???
