Skylines

At JEA, Casey and I realized that we had a really great view from the seventh floor! I was inspired by a workshop I went to , to try different things with Time Exposure. It was just getting dark, and I realized that the colors were fading, so I thought I might try time exposure to capture as much color as possible.

What was actually a very dark sky turned into a beautiful sunset photo with a lovely silhouetted city.
I had to try this shot several times, and I had to figure out how to improvise putting the camera on a still surface. I ended up having to move the hotel furniture just to get this shot, and setting the lens on top of my makeup bag so I could get the angle I wanted! One of my favorite things is that if you zoom into the parking garage, you can actually see car lights from cars that drove through.

Funny thing, these photos were taken about ten minutes apart, after they turned the lights on, on the skyscraper.  I focused more on trying to get the building as the center of interest, rather than the sky. I tried time exposure so that the sky was still visible, and the shapes of the buildings were still visible. I was really pretty happy with the way it turned out. It's not anything exceptional, but considering the only view I COULD have was the one from my window, I think I made due.
