Well, I got a bug last night and wanted to shoot some more nighttime photography. I just LOVE long-shutter photography. I think it is beautiful, crisp, clean, and I like all the details.
Here are three photos I shot last night around midnight. One of of a green building that I don’t know the name of, one is of CityPlace and one is a panorama shot at the corner of Woodall Rogers and Pearl. I shot three photos to create the panorama and stitched them together in Photoshop. I would have taken more photos like another one on the left and right to make an even bigger panorama, but a cop (not a security guard, a cop!) walked up and told me I couldn’t shoot anymore. I have had this happen to me pretty much EVERY time I go out and shoot at night, which makes no sense to me because I am always shooting from a bridge or a sidewalk where I am completely safe and not interfering with anyone, yet I am told to move along. Weird. Anyway, here are the pics! I think I might print the panorama.
Photos are shot on a Canon 40D, Canon 24-70 f/2.8L lens, ISO100, 30second shutter, range of f/11 to f/13, Auto WB
Here is an stylized version (star field added) of the panorama to fit 24″ iMac desktop backgrounds (1920×1200)

I love the pics man! Amazing stuff. Keep it up.
This is AWESOME!
Thanks. If you guys know any good places to shoot other views of Dallas like this them lemme know. I posted an ad on Craiglist to see if anyone with roof access on a skyscraper or security guard even that will let me shoot from the top of their building.
A wonderful article…. In my life, I have never seen a man be so selfless in helping others around him to get along and get working. I feel good that there are people like you too. Thanks for this great weblog of yours. Its surely going to get me to go to higher places!
Good post! I plan to move into this stuff after I’m done with school, as most of it is time consuming. It’s a great post to reference back to. My blog needs more time to gain in popularity anyway.
hey great pics take some more from street level at night..we need more like it……think about it…..there must be a million aerial views of Dallas at night.. I love Dallas,.. but I’m stuck in oklahoma right now and guys like u make it possible for me to visit home….keep up the good work

Good article – plenty of food for thought.
