So I've been wanting to capture downtown Edmonton from this one spot where my lovely boyfriend took me and I told myself that someday I will come there during the night and take pictures of the scene with a super long shutter speed lol. So a week ago I went and did so! I believe it was -12 degrees outside but no snow (thankfully!) and me having a really low threshold for cold, I wore two winter jackets, a scarf, gloves and them boots with the fur! I looked ridiculous like I was to climb Mount Everest! But at least I was able to last for the night til I got enough shots to make me happy. Definitely didn't wanna miss a photo opportunity by running away from the cold like a wimp. So a little tip: If you know you're gonna shoot for a long time, depending where you are BE PREPARED! If you get hungry easily like me, bring a snack... oh and pee ahead of time!
Anyways, here are the shots I took :) Post processed using Adobe CS5.
For this image, I took it on a highway curve and was parked on the emergency parking line. A truck with roof lights came and I thought it was the police so that scared that poop outta me but it was just roadside assistance. He asked if everything was okay and I explained that I was just going to take a few photos and I was done! He just kindly said that it probably wasn't a good idea to park there, and then he went back to his truck. I wanted to take a few more pictures but it seemed like he wasn't going anywhere until I left so I had to prematurely call it a night! xD
Post processing took roughly 3-4 hours each, solely because I'm not very good at Photoshop and most of the time I'm deciding what else I could do to make the photo prettier haha.
Have a nice day people!
