This shot was taken in almost total darkness. The only light I could see was to the left coming from the street lamp and the soft orange lingering from the sunset. This is on a side road that parallels the 101 freeway about 2 miles from Calabasas Ca. See tha large one on Flickr http://goo.gl/7gcyb.
Got some great news. My photo is being painted. My Drum teacher (Steve Roth | www.drumset4u.com) has a daughter who is a painter. She saw my photo and is in process of creating a painting of it. I’ll post an image of the painting once she is done.
Shot across the street of my neighbors house around sunset time. I didn’t do much with the colors, just cropped and darkened it a bit. It was too bad that the car was parked in front of the house else it would have been a much better photo.
While on vacation in Ventura Ca. in 09′ I wen’t on a bit of an excursion one night. About a mile or two from where we were staying was this power plant right next to the coast. I must have snapped 200 shots using different settings and whatnot. This was the result of 3 images merged and the colors tweaked a bit.
