For this assignment, we were supposed to practice our night shot skills. I was a little nervous because we were in Arizona this week and I was sure that it was going to be difficult to find any good night shots in a city that never really goes to sleep. After I got started, though, I quickly realized that I was actually lucky to be where I was at and that it was my Rexburg classmates that I should feel nervous for. I'm so glad I was here. All of these pictures are taken within a 2 mile radius of my house in Gilbert, Az. Enjoy!
This is one of my favorites. A few of us went scorpion hunting in our backyard (a tradition) and this time I took my camera. If you've never been scorpion hunting, you may not know that a scorpion will glow fluorescent green when exposed to a black light. Cool, eh?
I like the way the stars show up behind the power lines and the cactus in these pictures.
These pics are of Hwy 60, one facing west and one facing east. I love how the moon looks in the first pic.
I paired these two pics together because of their almost identical color schemes. In the first pic it's a green paloverde tree in front of a hideous pink building and the second is an old fashioned market/restaurant near our house.
A cross in a nearby church. It was impossible to get the exterior of the church without blowing out the cross, but I kind of like the effect. The second pic is just a residential road near our house with a few ghost lights running through it.
