Foggy Night - 12/14/2007 : Taken in downtown Austin, Texas.

Walking home from the company Christmas party, camera in hand, I captured some of the crazy fog that was in the air that night.

Trail Of Lights - 12/13/2007 : Taken at Zilker Park in Austin, Texas.

What better excuse to get out and do some night photography than a bunch of Christmas lights in a city park.  That, and lots of children-oriented statues.  I figured out really quickly on this shoot that I wasn't gonna get what I wanted without HDR, so I dutifully began bracketing.  The tone mapping settings for this set were much different than the usual daylight stuff I do, so it took me awhile to figure out how to process these.  Having thirty HDRs to process in a single folder is intimidating.  Plowing through this set took about four hours from start to finish.  I wish I knew how to do things faster without really sacrificing on the quality.

Twin Peaks at night - 9/08/2007 : Taken from the summit of Twin Peaks in San Francisco, California.

It was seriously foggy the night we went up there.  I spent the majority of the time taking the 77-shot long exposure pano, which didn't turn out as well as I had liked.  One of these days I'd like to find some better pano software than Autostitch.

Town Lake at night - 9/03/2007 : Taken on the shore of Town Lake in Austin, Texas.

I ran outside my apartment one evening on account of what sounded like an artillery bombardment only to find there were fireworks being set off across the lake.  By the time I reemerged with camera and tripod, I had just enough time to brutally overexpose single shot before it was over.  

I was in the process of heading back inside when I realized what an amazing night it was.  The air was very thick and nothing was moving.  The reflections from across the lake were almost perfect in the water.  I'm glad I took the time to  stick around to crank out a few shots.

Dallas Skyline - 8/03/2007 : Taken at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas, Texas.

So we had a pretty nice view of downtown Dallas from the window of our hotel room at QuakeCon.  Late one night, I decided to take some long exposures out the window.  The lesson learned from this one is it can't just be dark in the room if you're taking long exposures out a window, it has to be PITCH BLACK.  Reflections in the window plagued this set and while they turned out aight, I could have done better!

Cesar Chavez St. - 7/31/2007 : Taken on Cesar Chavez Street in downtown Austin, Texas.

I was on my way home from work one evening and I just happened to have my camera with me that day.  Halfway through downtown, I decided to stop and take some shots along the side of the road.  The last two are HDR.  Can't seem to stay away from that blasted HDR!

Late Night Swimming 7/29/2008 : Taken at the local swimming hole in Austin, Texas.

What kind of idiot brings a tripod into a swimming pool in order to take long exposures after midnight?  Well, now you know.
