Another Summer night walkabout

These pix are from a walkabout earlier this Summer.

I did these first pix @ Macungie Station Park around dusk.  

 I wanted to do some long exposure shots.  First I set up at an overpass looking over the Pa. Turnpike.

 Then I set up on the outskirts of town.

Stay tuned for more!

Cheers!

Summer night walkabouts

Thanks to friend, fellow photographer and overall bad influence, Chris Moy(BTW, you have great scenery up there in NYC.  And yes, I'm brushing up for the BMA ;-)  ) , I've been going out for summer night walkabouts just to brush up on my night photography skills.  Here's some of the pix I've been messing with.

Some B&W night shots.

 A half-assed attempt at a night cityscape(I live in a small town, what do you expect).

 This is Macungie Station Park.  I'm heading there again soon.
 Last night I did something I haven't done in years.  Long exposure.

 These were all taken @ ISO 50.  Shutter speed of 4 seconds.  Aperture set at 2.8.  Rested.  I like the results.

 

Thanx for looking!

Cheers!

**ARCHIVE** Annual Wheels of Time Parade

 This is something the entire town looks forward to every year.  Part of the Wheels of Time Rod & Custom Jamboree is the annual rod run.  People line up all along the parade route to check these beauties out.  You have the old-timey rods.

 The Classics!

 The Gassers!

 Trucks!

 Years ago, the club restricted a cut-off for entries to 1963 and before.  Last year they expanded to include up to 1970.

 This '69 Camaro met an untimely end!

 Not more than 5 minutes after I took the previous pic, the car fell victim to an electrical fire.

 As long as I can remember, this one has always been the caboose, signalling the end of the run.

Thanx for looking!

Stay tuned for more from the archives!

Cheers!
