Night Photography

     To shoot these three night-time photographs, we needed to have a tripod for the camera (to keep it from moving) , film (of course...pretty much any 35mm kind),  a 35mm camera that can be set to leave the shutter open, and a shutter release cable and a flash with good batteries (for two of them).

      For all of these we had to be pretty far from lights (from cities or street lamps, or the full moon etc...).

       They all took some planning, and some nights the weather wouldn't cooperate, but, it was a lot of fun...especially when we saw the photos.
