Night Aerials

Post by Brad »

Tried something new this year... Night Aerial Photos! I would say the results are mixed. They are fun to look at on the web, but I am not sure how many are printable. I really strive to have all my photos printable to at least 24x36 or larger, but I don't think some of these would look good at that size.

Nice TDA! Kinda hard to get a 2sec exposure from a helicopter?

16 is my favorite. If the shot was a little wider, that would have been cool too. Good work!

Nice shots. 16 is what it would be like from the proposed Lanoha tower, if it went to 60-70 stories. One can dream!

Love #8. If it were just a little bit earlier, the lighting may have been a brighter.

I was running 1/40th of a second exposures at f2.8 and like 3200 ISO and it was a real struggle! Needed more, but that's all I could get and still have it mostly sharp.

I will look and see what I have. I had on my wide angle lens, so I am not sure how much wider I could get.

I circled a few times waiting for the bank tower's light to turn on. That was literally less than a min after they turned on... If it were a clear night, everything would have been way better.

I didn't even think of the FNB lights...in that case, you had no choice, the photo looks much better with the lights on. I agree if it were clear, lighting would have been much better.

Friday Morning I had the most perfect weather I have ever had for Aerials. Sunday night when I took those, I had the worst weather that I have ever had for aerials...

Just when I think Brad can't outdo himself he posts these. Outstanding Brad!

Come to Detroit sometime. Or Chicago or New York or Miami or L.A.
