… But I’m not. I tried to take a few pictures of the Thanksgiving feast, but all I got was a picture of the turkey and a very poor one at that. I did get a decent picture of green beans in a colander after being washed, but that’s the only decent food picture I got. The centerpiece, most expertly created by my wife, did come out good.

So the other night I got a wild hair and decided to shoot some night pictures from my front door. I got one picture that came out presentable. I took these pics at around 3 am. The shot is of 2 trees in front of my neighbor’s home. I’m not sure why, but I exposed for the highlights but the sky kept coming out lighter than it actually was. I live in Houston so the sky is never black, but this made it look almost like dusk. All in all, however, I am learning lots about available light exposure.

As always, feedback is welcome and encouraged.
