NightScapes

From the moment I had control of f-stop, shutter speed and film speed, I've been experimenting with exposure. I shot my first timed exposures when I was 18 years old. I still have the shutter release cable I used decades ago. I shot light paintings with flashlights on the cliffs of the Pinnacle in Kempton, PA. I still have the negatives. I vividly recall composing the scene. I used to find it humorous that, as a photographer, I prefer shooting after the sun has gone down. But I am drawn to the glowing expanse of a cityscape and the grandeur of architectural subjects cast in the vibrant colors of twilight.
