I was out last night in Woods Hole trying to do night photography. It's not easy to do, and it's even harder for me because I can't seem to ever remember to bring my flashlight. Last night was the nearest I've gotten so far; I put batteries in the flashlight, but left it on my desk! There is so much gear to organize that I am always arriving "in the field" missing at least one important thing.
It's also (as you can plainly tell from these images) very difficult to focus a camera in the dark.
I'm always disappointed with the images I get, but I feel like there is some very small progress in my efforts. Perhaps the best part of photography is that it gets me outside at times that I have not typically gone outside and thus I am seeing a lot of things for the first time. For example, I have never seen the moon rising over Vineyard Sound in the twelve years that I've lived here - until last night when I went specifically to photograph it happening.
