Photography at Night
In the first six months of 2020, I tended to make every trip out into a photography outing. This often extended into the night, with my doing a good bit of night photography. I shot with long exposures, I stacked exposures, and some were just standard exposures conducted with great care. All in all, I had fun with it, shooting various subjects in Maryland, Virginia, the District of Columbia, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. The photos are arranged more or less geographically, moving from southeast to northwest.
