Nothing's better than waking up at the buttcrack of dawn and taking pictures in the rain

More Night Photography! Featuring: Merry-Go-Round!

Just had a night photography session a couple days ago, had lots of fun up on campus again. Good stuff.

All these were taken from the campus of UC Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz, California

Note: None of the photos in the gallery are edited, only a re-size and/or cropping. No color/level/hue adjustments have been made whatsoever. Some of the ones AFTER the night gallery, however, have been edited as such (they look noticeably different).

It was a beautiful day today….

So when I got back to campus with my camera I decided to shoot some panoramic shots. I used AutoStitch which is an awesome almost-perfect working program to stitch shots together. Also, last night I went up to campus late with some friends and took some sweet night shots, and then returned back during the day and caught some more cool panoramic shots. The gallery of night/afternight shots is followed by the Pano shots. The ones that look almost like night-time were taken at 1:30 AM.

And one shot that is 30,000 px wide, so WordPress crapped out whenever I tried to thumbnail it, so here is a link to it:

Here are some other shots I dug up (we need to clean our kitchen more often):

I also dug up some old photos I found in this gallery:

Night Photos / Long Exposure

Hey, sorry its been so long, not that anyone's listening, but I just got back from a night photo shoot on campus. Half-way down the gallery (the part that's inside) was a while ago. That green is from my green laser pen I got from sellout.woot.

The first set of shots was taken after 10pm (PST) on campus at UC Santa Cruz, CA (ignore the MetaData, I haven't changed it for DST -.-).
The second set of shots (starts after the fence) is from my apartment between midnight and 2 am, while I was running chkdsk on my failing Seagate =( .
