Thanks a bunch. > > I see that you enjoy your "free" time to the full extent. > (over 300 shots on that bridge - and all within ~1.5 hour?) ;-) I actually spent about 3 hours there: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/4104374584/meta/ Date and Time (Original): 2009:11:14 03:46:39-08:00 http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/4104152792/meta/ Date and Time (Original): 2009:11:14 06:34:55-08:00 Part of the high number of frames was because I was bracketing almost every shot. For one, I'm not good enough at night photography nor at translating what the histogram means about the raw file, to nail my exposure in weird lighting situations. Also, I may want to go back and process these shots with HDR, as the range of exposures is pretty extreme. So, with the test shots to set my exposure, and the bracketing, it's really less than 100 shots. Maybe, one of these day, I'll be good enough to show up someplace like this and only take the 10 good frames that are now in the set. But, even if I could, I won't, because if I only take pictures that work, that means that I'm not trying enough new things nor taking big enough risks. I just need to get better at recognizing when my experiments aren't as successful as I had hoped. > > And from seeing the background of some of the photos, - > you painted the town red. :-) I had a bit of help with that. Besides, these days, it's not quite red that I'm painting towns.
