With the weather finally getting nicer here in the North East I’m taking plenty of opportunities to get out and do some night photography. Living here in Philadelphia traditional landscape opportunities are limited but cityscapes are in full force.
I’ve been working with some creative long exposures including star trails and the Milky Way. I think it’s unique to see these types of things in a city atmosphere.
Here is a shot of the Ben Franklin Bridge in Philadelphia, PA from Race Street Pier.
Canon 6D
Canon 16-35 2.8L
Here are 8 different exposures. Six of them make up the star trails and the other two represent the HDR of foreground and the bridge.
This photo is down on Penn’s Landing in Philadelphia, PA. The recently opened a roller rink with beer garden, mini golf, Ferris wheel, and more.
Canon 5D MKIII
Canon 24-70 2.8L II
This image is composed of four exposures. One main one and the 3 that make up the star trails.
This is not typically my style but as I’m learning new techniques of photography I’m willing to expand what are “typically” considered the ethical boundaries of traditional photography. What do you think??
