Ahh…Lights of Downtown Toledo!!

by Brittani on 14 Apr ’10

I have had so much fun lately learning how to control proper exposure in different lighting situations! I must say, I am coming along! =) I had so much fun the other night out with my boyfriend, taking pictures of the night life! We had a lot of fun changing all the settings on my Canon XS. Yes, I was a Nikon fan (still am), but I have loved this camera so! My Canon (WOW that has such a great sound to it!) is literally an extension of myself, and he’s been so good to me!

Here, I share with you the product of our second set of nighttime photos, taken in the downtown Toledo area. And boy, did the day start off right! We had tacos, right before! Here are my favorite few. I’ll post more shortly.

For now, cheers!

Hey, looks like you’re having fun!
I really like the first one, but I would have lowered the angle a little so that you had the whole reflection in the frame (the whole buildings). The last one is cool too, I like the framing.

About the other ones, having a hardly lit subject so close to the cam creates ghosts and flares (those green ones you have) and makes the background stuff hard to see. I thing those pics would have been great vertical and avoiding the lights that were closer to you, you could have made a great pic with the vertical reflections of the bridge on the water.

Good to see you’re enjoying your camera! Take care, I’ll answer your mail soon, I promise ;)
