Sunset yields to Moonrise over Santa Monica beach in California. Taken with a6400 and 18-135mm kit lens.
Does this count as "low-light" photography?

 

[FowlersFreeTime]

Obligatory attempt at Neowise comet earlier this year.
a6400 18-135mm kit lens @ 28mm, f4.5, 15 second exposure with ISO 2000... and countless bug bites (Florida summer!)

 

[FowlersFreeTime]

Last one! Temple Kiyomizudera in Japan last year (almost exactly one year to the day!).
a6400, 18-135mm kit lens, do not remember the settings. Sadly, a "no tripod" rule (at this and many other Japanese parks) meant I could not do a long exposure.

Wool spinning at Church Ruins. Was so much fun and my first time

I've seen this technique but never tried it, how long of an exposure did you need?

I love doing low light photography, and since I live in arizona I have a lot of dark sky opportunities.

early Christmas present for pops!!

my kids chipped in and bought a Tamron 70-180 which I received yesterday.

Had a little time to practice with it while my wife shopped. I really like the lens. Here is the moon (obv) and I moved it a little bit to complete the composite over the freeway.

Freeway: F9, ISO 50, 25" 70 mm
Moon: F9, ISO 50, 1/160 180mm

This was taken at my brother's bachelor party this year. We went on a small fishing trip with very few people, and it made for a wonderful time! I had my camera gear with me, so was the designated "keep people from falling in sober person". I managed to snap this before the festivities got going and was really happy with how it turned out!

I am new to the site so the first time I have had an opportunity to see these photos. All very interesting to see, so clean and crisp.

The granny sits there every night waiting for a chat, lol, she commutes into Taipei daily to sell her tiny flowers to office workers to have fresher smelling desks. The dog is owned by a nearby shop-owner who for some reason lets it wander about - it always has that kind of half interested/half worried look.
Oh, and the cat actually has two eyes, but for some reason closed one at that moment - I have fed it a few times, so can vouch for it having deux yeux. I wonder why it winked? Maybe it was a sign...
