One thing I have always loved about the members of UHH is the varied photographs they submit for perusal by other members. I have always wanted to take a night time traffic pattern of white lights coming toward me and red lights going away from me. I always put it off until maybe a week ago one of our members submitted such a photograph. It brought back memories from years back that I STILL had never done that.

Recently some of you may have noticed my series on paragliders from above Rincon Point. While up on the hill I happened to walk to the opposite end of the field where people were taking off into the sky and noticed a perfect photo opportunity to try some night photos. Tonight was the night. I knew it would be close to dark at 8:30 so was there with camera on tripod at 8:15. I took a few practice shots to get my picture framed where I wanted it and to make sure it was level with the ocean in the background. These are three photographs showing a progression from dusk to dark. The middle photograph was not cropped in yet so you can see where I was before cropping in.

I hope you like these. I am open to constructive criticism or good suggestions. You won't hurt my feelings because I can always do it again another night.
