I saw a massive moon rising over the highway on my way home recently. Of course, I didn’t have my camera with me. By the time I got back to this spot, the moon had risen further and become smaller in the sky. The sun continued to set behind me, so the sky did become more colorful. Overall I like the lights of the traffic, the sky, and of course the way the moon turned out!

Moonrise
I Can Feel It Slipping Away
This wide angle shot makes it feel as if the scene is slowly slipping away, all the way to the Capitol in the distance.
A Night on Capitol Mall
This photo is dominated by the U.S. Bank Tower in Sacramento, whose bright lights slowly change color all night. You can also see the glowing golden Tower Bridge off in the distance. I was out to take advantage of some clouds in the sky, which won’t be that common for the rest of the summer.
Snowy Mansion
It still feels a little like winter here, so I’m going to take this opportunity to post a snowy photo. The way the weather has been here I wouldn’t be surprised to see this winter scene again before summer finally comes!
The Majestic Theatre
I found the Majestic in Boston while out on a walk one night. The illuminated windows caught my attention and were all the convincing I needed to take this photo.
Charles River
The Charles River surrounded by the city of Boston. I had a hell of a time getting this shot. There was a small tripod involved, lots of lights behind me reflecting on the glass, and oh yeah, tons of crazy kids jumping around so much the whole building was shaking. I was able to eek this out, and I don’t think it is half bad!
Harvard at Night
I happened to be at Harvard on a clear night with a full moon. What a sight the beautiful campus was under the clear skies!
Boston by Night
The view of the great city of Boston by night. I was able to spend some time here recently, and had to take some of my obligatory night shots. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the skyline, but I was happy with what I found from the top of the Prudential Center. Hope you enjoy it too!
Two Cranes
An ongoing construction project for Sutter Hospital in Sacramento was the inspiration for this photo. I drive past these cranes every day, and wanted to make a night shot incorporating them. I waited until they were lined up and found a vantage point nearby to take this long exposure. I dig the way it shows the city at night.
