Trek for the night shot

It is as much a part of touring museums, eating the local cuisine, or seeing the sights as anything for us...taking one evening and scoping out THE night shot in any location we visit. This can take 15 minutes or can last for hours...sometimes it involves bracing the cold, rain, and wind....

In many ways, this is becoming easier; in some ways, it is becoming harder. Sure, the tripod purchase in Salzburg last August improved our night shot capability immensely - put a check mark into the "easier" column. On the flip side, the purchase of the new camera at Christmas has tested out photography skills (how do we use the blasted thing at night?) - put a check mark in the more challenging" column.

Still, we did capture a few Copenhagen night shots worth keepin'.

Copenhagen...by night.

Your night shots are, by far, my favorite.

We finally got high speed at home which makes it possible to see your blog again! Once school starts, the whole time thing gets in the way, but I can enjoy while I can.

By the way, I can't believe how long your hair is! You guys look great!
