With my new Sony Cybershot P200, I can now take pictures with a 30 second exposure time, like the one above. The cool part about the picture above and the ones below is that they were all taken at about one o'clock in the morning! The moon wasn't even visible! I used a 30 sec. exposure with 200 ASA and roughly a 2.5 f-stop.

 

 

 

 

I was taking pictures with my neighbor, Andrew. He's in the "Summer 2004" galleries I have. His brother drove by in a car as we were taking this picture, which is the light in the background. You can barely see Andrew, the red blur in front of me.

 

 

 

 

This picture turned out awesome, at least I think so. We tried like, six other shots to get this same effect again, but it didn't really work (they were too bright). We could have tried a bit longer, but it was really cold.

 

 

 

 

Random shot. The picture above and the ones below are with an 8 second exposure time, 100 ASA, and roughly a 5.5 f-stop.

 

 

 

 

We started messing around. Too bad that AC grate thing is beneath the light, as well as the wood in the background.

 

 

 

 

This took a LONG time to get. It's harder than you think to stretch backwards and hold perfectly still for 8 seconds. This is mostly Andrew's picture, though. I pressed the button, but he was the one that wanted to do it over and over again.

 

 

 

 

HAHA! I love this one. Oh man. Andrew didn't think it was as funny, though. Maybe I'm weird.

 

 

 

 

This was the first picture I took that night. Doesn't it look like daytime? It was pitch black! That star thing is the thing we used later, above in this page.
