Mare Island Night Photography

Last weekend I was fortunate enough to join Tim Baskerville's Nocturnes group to do some night photography on Mare Island, California.

Mare Island at night has few really dark places: there are many streets lights and a lot of illuminated work going on at the docks. This is good in a way, as the lights can provide interesting compositions. You can also see what you're doing. Unfortunately also it means the moonlight is overwhelmed in many places. Well, you work with what you've got.

Here are a few shots. Lit by moonlight, artificial work lights and the odd red gelled flashlight.
