Default Went out for some night shooting

Just a few shots around town at about 10pm-midnight. Some tripod, some handheld.

Not much to the pictures. Just wanted to head out and shoot. Enjoy!

Ducky - I usually do the basic adjustments.. Color, Contrast, Brightness, Levels. I usually don't crop or mess with sharpness. Mar does, but she's way more photoshop proficient than I am. I'm a hang em and bang em type of guy. Get them out as fast and dirty as possible. If I wait to PP and disply, I probably wont get them out.

Thanks broski.. Not much in creativity, but it was nice just getting out to take pictures. I think the railroad sign and the wood paneling are my two favorite of the set. The others are just basic night shots. I'm going to try for my own theme shooting.

Signs
Patterns
Food
Building materials
B&W

That'll at least give me some direction. I figure the more I shoot, the better the composition will get.
