I am getting into low light photography and would appreciate any help I can get. I find it interesting and exciting. for the first attempts I used my Nikon D-7000 and either a Nikon 50 mm 1.4D or a 35 mm 1.8G.

The exposures are good, composition of #3 needs help-possible get further away....and the bane of all landscape photographers, crooked, as in not level, horizons!!!

Thank you. I was concentrating on everything else I forgot about having a level camera.

#3 is bad compared to the other.
Defined foreground outline in these conditions are what make and break a picture.

Thanks. I didn't want to show only the better ones. I like the light but messed up both the focus and composition. The only way to get better is to keep taking pictures. This is a first attempt. Two weeks ago, Belfast Maine.

Is there a way to add a couple more?

#1 is my favorite - composition and subject are very pleasing; the light across the water is lovely.
#2 - aside from the slant, it is not as appealing for me because of the tree on the right side. It feels like it's blocking my enjoyment of the vista.
The last one seems more balanced and OK since I have a better "picture" :) of the whole scene. On that one, you might consider cropping some off the bottom. Similarly, I'd crop some from #4 (right-hand side). I think the silhouettes and colors are more interesting, and the composition stronger, if there isn't such a large completely black area.

Linda, thank you very much. I have not post processed any of the photographs and your comments are exactly what I need. One question. Do the pictures make you homesick for Maine?

LOL - indeed they do :) Very glad my comments could be of a bit of help.

#1 has it all: "framing" (object[s] at the edge to provide sense of depth), rage of tones (subtle), contrast, and a "feel" that is not usual. Fine shot!

Thank you artBob and DickC. When I am shooting in the daylight I am very cognizant of keeping the camera horizontal. However, when shooting in low light conditions there are all kinds of other things to think about and keeping the camera straight got moved to the back burner. Damn, low light is fun.
