Night Shoot
I went on my first night shoot recently with a woman I met from the Nashville Photographer's Meetup I joined. We met for dessert first and then went with our tripods and fancy cameras up to a pedestrian bridge downtown. We spent about an hour photographing and being talked to by every homeless person in Nashville. Seriously. It was a bit uncomfortable, but there were two of us and each was carrying a big metal tripod, so nobody really messed with us too much. Afterward, we went back down to the parking lot where I realized I had left my window open the entire time - with my purse in the car. In that moment I was so grateful I live in tiny Nashville and not a big, bad city like Chicago (even though I love Chicago) because a) my car was still there and b) so was my purse and all of it's contents. PHEW!Coincidentally, the Photo Friday theme today is Urban Landscape, so it gives me a chance to share some of my shots from that night (it also gives me a reason to delay showing you my hula hoop video!).
Hard Rock Cafe - the one good thing about it is identifying this sky line. That and the AT&T building.
Those swirly white things? Those are bats flying around lit up by the spotlights.
I love the composition of this shot (unedited) as I looked down from the bridge above. It looks like a toy train set.
Steel art.
Skater punks.
Ow.
Old and ugly is beautiful to me.
