While on a recent trip, we drove along the remote Little Calf Pasture Highway in Virginia. It was dark and hard to see much, but as I’m always looking for things to take photos of, I noticed this little ranch with the moon above it! This is a two-shot composite, one of the ranch, and one of the moon for exposure difference. A tripod was of course used.

Port Bay lies on the Southern shore of Lake Ontario, north of Wolcott NY; this can be a great place with easy access to view a nice Sunset on Lake Ontario. On the Northern rim of Port Bay, there is a public park and boat launch right on the shore. For good Sunset photos, be sure to incorporate foreground elements such as flowers into your composition.

Park in DC

But the Washington Monument and Vietnam Memorial Wall aren’t the only things to see at night. Sometimes even a view of the park benches can be enchanting when illuminated by the park lights.
