I still haven't had the chance to work on the new pictures yet, but here's a preview:



It was FREAKIN' cold there, but like soldiers, the endurance and persistence paid off

Michael

wow i'm speechless.

Here's mine:




I'm not competing against you Mikey Just wanted to show my favorite shot too.

Both are great ! i see pictures from the both of you guys from the same locations all the time, do you guys go on planned photoshoots?

oh yeah, you guys use photoshop for your images much ?

Night photography definitely has the best light...it really does make a area look surreal.......

You konw, after looking at the two photos for a bit, i realize that if you had shown me these two photos seperately, i would've thought they were at different locations.

Competition? hahaha... Nah. It's all about having fun. I like the angle of your shot, Mel.

Eddy, yes, we do go on planned photo shoots from time to time. Some people join us too once in a while, but we can't post their photos. Most of the people who go with us also don't have cameras capable of taking night shots...

I used to use Photoshop, but nowadays I don't really do much editing any more unless the picture really needs it (ie. too dark or colors are too hazy.)

They WERE shot from the north (mine) and south (Mel) sides of the bridge

Thank Eddie

Like Mike said, I only use photoshop when I have too. This picture I took of the Golden Gate was only resized (of course) and the name 'San Francisco' was added, nothing more.

Most of my night shots didn't come out as well, so I just had to post this one because it was my treasure of the night. hehe*
