Say hello to the Canon Digital Rebel XTi- or, as I like to call it, "my new best friend". GR isn't much to look at, but to get this kind of clarity at night is stunning. To me, anyway.
Merry Christmas everyone!
UPDATE 7:16 am Christmas morning:
Here are a few more- not as much post-processing done on these as the one above.
Ellis parking garage downtown. Back when I was a kid (now I sound like my Dad- God help me), downtown Grand Rapids was the shopping mecca for the area, and the streets were filled with lights. Now, not so much.
Tree at the site of the new art museum, right next to Rosa Parks Circle.
Gerald Ford Museum.
Some hippies in East Grand Rapids.
I could not get a picture of the bags on the streets- that was too dark, no tripod. (for those who don't know- EGR residents put candles in small white bags and line the streets. It is beautiful. It is also very crowded when the weather is good- traffic was very heavy last night. Made it very hard to shoot anything with all the headlights, that is why I ran downtown.)
