Yesterday evening I rode my bike about a mile away from my house and shot a timelapse of the sunset. Went pretty well for only my third timelapse of the sunset ever. Still working on learning what settings work best, but I think it came out okay. Below you can see a photo I took with my phone of the set up I had. Sorry for the low qaulity.

I’m going to put together the actual video using the shots in a couple days, I’ll post it when I’m finished.While I was taking the sunset my friend Destin Danser sent me a text asking if I wanted to go walk around the town and do some night photography. His initial idea was to do some city landscapes, but we ended up doing night portraits instead.I luckily took my Kodak Zi8 along with me so we shot a short vlog of our portrait session. Unfortunatly I didn’t get any actual footage of us taking the photos and moving the lights around. But we’re going to try again next Tuesday so I’ll shoot another vlog and include that stuff. Just a side note, yes we are strange and I already know that. Below the video you can see some of the best shots we took. I think they came out decent for our first attempt at night portraits. If we had one more flash for a hair light, I think they would’ve turned out a multitude better. What do you guys think? Anything we could drastically improve besides the hair light?And here are some of my favorite photos from the evening.
