Charleston South Carolina<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

Recently a pro photographer friend made an interesting comment following a landscape photoshoot. He said, “You have a great eye for light.”<\/p>\n

His statement caught me a bit by surprise until I had a few minutes to think about it. Then the realization dawned: Isn’t that what every photographer is supposed to do – see light in the same way the camera does – translate the light into an exposure for the camera?<\/em><\/p>\n

Charleston South Carolina<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/center>After spending the past several weeks in Las Vegas, Nevada, where the night scenes blaze with multi-colored neon and incandescent lights, an evening stroll through the darkened streets of Charleston, South Carolina, represented a dramatic visual counterpoint. The creative photo opportunities were just as distinctive.<\/p>\n

Charleston is a city where it is possible to stroll for hours and discover a wide variety of photo opportunities. The historic city is rich with visuals. This still life scene – lit by a single street light – caught my attention because of the color and shape of the building. In a city dominated by monochrome structures, color is a bonus. Shapes within the architecture balanced the lone light source to create an interesting scene on a quiet side street.<\/p>\n

This image was created with a Nikon D60 using an AF-S Nikkor 55-200mm G ED lens. The focal length was 55mm with an aperture of f\/4.5 and film speed 400 ISO. The camera was hand-held at a shutter speed of 1\/25th second with the lense VR (vibration reduction) setting on.<\/p>\n
