One of my favorite sources of light is a street lamp. They give their surroundings a warm, directional light leaving lots of shadows and contrast. I liked the balance of this shot – the diagonal path of the branches. It follows the rule of thirds and all of that jazz. The vaguely creepy feeling I felt was appropriate for almost Halloween.
Tree at Night, Isla Vista
I spent a bit of time playing around with shutter speed on this one. I liked this the best because the branches really pop. Night photography gets much more interesting when you don’t have a tripod. I took this around 9:00 PM when I was en route to the co-op.
