Last weekend I spent the night on a houseboat and played around taking
some long exposure photos late at night and in the early morning. Since
the lake is getting smaller every day, I plan on taking more to record
the drought.

Feel free to comment you would like about my feeble attempt to take some
interesting photos.

Very good job! You did a good job with light and color.


Thanks, I really didn't do much different, except play with the shutter
speed, aperture and ISO. On every shot, I took numerous shots playing
around with the settings. The green color from the docks lights had to
do with the lighting used by the marina. It did not look green to look
at it, but it came out of the camera with the green shade.

Somethings I did learn is I need to get a black cloth to cover the eye
piece during the long exposure and also need to use the auto timer so I
won't have to hit the shutter release button. Some nice photos were
blurred because I shook the camera on the tripod as I hit the button, or
it may have been the dock moving. I also want to buy a bulb so I can
take some exposure longer than 30 secs, especially for some sky photos
in the mountains.
