I decided to go downtown to take a picture of the temple here in Salt Lake and hopefully be able to get some of the fall leaves to come through as well. I was there until after it got dark, so I figured I'd post one more time for the nighttime theme. The first one is the entrance to one of the malls downtown, the rest are of the Salt Lake Temple. HHCC welcome and wanted.

So we have had too many clouds to get any shots of the stars, so I figured I would shoot something, here are a couple of pictures from my backyard, and yes these were shot at night, I took them around 11. Its amazing how much light you can get if you keep your shutter open long enough. Of course these were shot on a tripod. HHCC wanted and welcome.

Okay, so you probably know that it is pretty much impossible to get this shot, if not please tell me how, without double exposing, but since double exposure isn't possible on my camera I had to improvise with photoshop. I'm just a beginner with photoshop and I really wanted to find a way to get the clouds to stay out in front of the moon, but I couldn't get it to look very natural, any suggestions? Also any idea on any other things I could have done when combining the two images to make this look better?

I think nighttime pictures can be a lot of fun. Some day I hope to get good at taking pictures during the night. Hopefully I will get a night without cloud coverage and some good stars before the week is over, but that doesn't happen often in the valley here in Salt Lake. Maybe I can find a night to go up into the mountains, we will see. HHCC welcome and wanted.

Oooh! This is awesome! I love how the sky is still blue and not black yet and the tree in the corner... love it!
cool shot of the moon !
I like the effect of the "orange" tone on the fence and plant. Your moon picture looks beautiful. Check out 2P's; I bumped two olf threads by Roman Johnson about landscape photography and ps techniques.
I think it's great to get out and try stuff like this. Night time shooting is difficult but so rewarding too. Using a tripod is key and do you have a remote of some sort? I have found they help tremendously too.
I really like the colors here, not too dark, but definitely appropriate for the night.
Yes, I have a locking cable release, if I need to do something longer than my camera will let me, 30 seconds, then I will use that, but I like to use the timer rather than the cable release to take away from shaking, with the timer the mirror is already up, so when the picture is taken you don't get any movement from the mirror flipping out of the way.
That moon picture is amazing!
Janae--Love these shots of the temple. The first one showing the lighted pools streaming down toward the temple is really neat. These are great night shots--I like it that the sky isn't completely dark and you still have a little color.
This is Travis' blog not Janae's, but thanks. I'm glad you like them, I had fun taking them.
