Night Photo

Here is an attempt at night photography. In my gallery there are other not so great shots, but this is the best that I could do for now. This image has been cropped.

Hey - I like it - simple but kinda cool...

I like the red line when it turns to yellow. Can you tell use what settings you used?

teejay, thanks for the compliment.

tracsoft, the settings I used:

ISO 800, I think I could have used 100 or 200
f/8
timer w/ remote
WB=Cloudy
AF = Off
Tripod

On the bigger version you would be able to see the outline of a bluff where the road wraps around it to the left and some subtle stars.

Look up Troy Paiva - Lost America | Night Photography of the Abandoned West - in which he gives some settings that work well for night (long exposure) photography.
Click the "technique" tab, you will find some general settings there.
