Last night was the first time I tried taking pictures in the night ( except i am doing that all the time from my balcony / floor 8th )
With my funny, cheap camera i think these pictures are just fine ;)) Hope you like them too !



The Wanderer - U2 & Johnny Cash

I went out walking
Through streets paved with gold
Lifted some stones
Saw the skin and bones
Of a city without a soul
I went out walking
Under an atomic sky
Where the ground won't turn
And the rain it burns
Like the tears when I said goodbye

Yeah I went with nothing
Nothing but the thought of you
I went wandering

I went drifting
Through the capitals of tin
Where men can't walk
Or freely talk
And sons turn their fathers in
I stopped outside a church house
Where the citizens like to sit
They say they want the kingdom
But they don't want God in it

I went out riding
Down that old eight lane
I passed by a thousand signs
Looking for my own name

I went with nothing
But the thought you'd be there too
Looking for you

I went out there
In search of experience
To taste and to touch
And to feel as much
As a man can
Before he repents

I went out searching
Looking for one good man
A spirit who would not bend or break
Who would sit at his father's right hand
I went out walking
With a bible and a gun
The word of God lay heavy on my heart
I was sure I was the one
Now Jesus, don't you wait up
Jesus, I'll be home soon
Yeah I went out for the papers
Told her I'd be back by noon

Yeah I left with nothing
But the thought you'd be there too
Looking for you

Yeah I left with nothing
Nothing but the thought of you
I went wandering

jonrake I love your night roaming series ...the speeding truck was my fav

Allow me to suggest a different song, the original "The Wanderer" by Dion in 1961. Please give it a listen.

kundalini Great attempts at night shots. Try not using your flash and see what results you have. Also, with moon shots, try a faster shutter speed. Consider the moon much like you would the sun as far as exposure is concerned. Also remember the moon moves through the sky very fast. Shutter speeds of 1/60 to 1/250 is not uncommon.

Diggin' #23 myself.

Great song.
