Night photography is some of my favorite. Great shot. Here’s one I took at Folly Ramp.
Looks good sir!

What settings would one use to get a shot to turn out like that?
yella bote
black motor
A very slow shutter speed with a low ISO to reduce the noise. Many night photos are very noisy. You will need a tripod as well. Aperture of f8 or so should do the trick in most shots.

Both of these are very nice pictures. I think I would add a little fill light to the first one. (could be my monitor) the second one is noisy and could use some cropping to get rid of the pool of water at the bottom. Ya never want your horizon in the middle of an image. Great shots though, nice work.
Thanks Ben but i don’t think the other guy asked to be critiqued lol. I would agree with you on the crop but the noise you are seeing is probably because the image is so large on here. If this is the Ben Brown I have seen in galleries I do admire your work sir. Thanks for your .02.

Could have been Titan, I retired from the business 10 yrs ago and now live in Summerville. Mostly fish lol. Sorry about the critique on the second photo…thought they were both yours…I am old so forgive me.
No issues whatsoever. I haven’t looked at this image since I took it, but now that you say that, I’ll look into it. Appreciate the info.
The first picture is really small for me, the second one fills my monitor 75%. Should I make them smaller?
Is this size better?
that makes a world of difference 23…you just turned a good photo into an amazing one IMO!!! Nice job brutha!

Titan, check out “The Rule of Thirds” for photography composition.
Rules are made to be broken lmao! Crop tool takes care of that as well.

I like it much better. Yes, rule of thirds is a standard, but I personally don’t believe you always have to abide by it. Certainly be aware as you are taking pictures of the rule though. It can take a good picture amd make it a great one just by observing this rule at times.
