Discovered today that in order to take pictures at night, you really need a tripod. Tried anyways, and managed to get some pretty good shots of the moon. Other things I learned tonight - April is still not the month to be outside at night for prolonged periods of time, especially the day after a snowfall; also, when standing outside on a street corner, crouched down for that perfect angle, don't be surprised if people give you strange looks. And cross the street to avoid coming too close.
The gulls (notice I leave out the "sea" part - we are in Saskatchewan, after all; or, as a friend of mine once tried to call it, Saskawanawatchewan) are out every night. I can hear them from my house when I get home after dark. When driving over the bridge I can see them in mass numbers reflecting the street lights. Literally hundreds of them. When I first saw them I swore they were bats. Have yet to get a picture because I am pretty sure its illegal to drive and photograph. For some reason.
All in all I enjoyed how these shots didn't quite get into focus. Tripod-schmipod. Who says you can't go low budget and get a good product?
