Went for a night hike a few days ago, shooting 3s exposures @ 105/1.4, handheld. Because it was so dark (heavy overcast, rural area), I could not focus with intention. That, and the amount of camera shake from the long exposure time result in images that (I think) accurately convey the atmosphere of being in the woods at night:

One of the weird optical effects is the lack of shadows:

One part of the path is actually near a road, gently rocking back and forth with the shutter open as cars drive by gives this result:

And near one end of the path there's and old oil pumpjack, not sure when it was active:

Unfortunately some haze came in and hid the moon, which was just visible over the battlements a few minutes earlier.

Just the old lament again.

When you have time and gear, you don't get a theme
When you have gear and theme, you don't have the time
When you have time and theme, you don't have the gear...
... and sometimes, you have no time and no gear ...

This is not our house, by the way. I usually pass by it on my nearly-daily walks.

Right after dinner, and a bottle of VSOP Cognac would be great.
