night shots – Ritva Sillanmäki Photography

Serene Nighttime Moment

I was going to bed a bit earlier than my husband, as I had had enough crime for the day while he continued watching Law and Order. After a long day, I felt tired. I had closed the door to our bedroom at our summer home, seeking quiet from the sound of the TV. However, Tinka, our mischievous cat, seemed determined to disrupt my plans; she has an uncanny knack for opening doors and an unmistakable dislike for anything that blocks her pathway. The moment she managed to nudge the door open, a soft glow of light poured in, casting gentle shadows across the room. In that serene moment, I picked up my phone and captured this shot. I have to say, the camera phone takes really nice nighttime images, making even the dimmest light appear vibrant and full of life. The interplay of shadows and lightshowed me of the peaceful and warm atmosphere of our home, and I couldn’t help but feel grateful for these little moments of joy that come unexpectedly.

A serene nighttime scene in a cozy bedroom, illuminated by soft light casting gentle shadows.

Photography

Franks Night post shared has some of my photos, read his well worded thoughts of night. Fell free to comment here or in his blog. Night can be full of magical beauty, with summers light nights we have here in the north. Winter sky with the beautiful star art. Nights capture the imagination, thoughts can circle in your mind during the night when you are supposed to sleep. Night is time for parties, time to meet friends or rest so you can survive the next day. It can be full of bliss or loneliness.

Beach Walk Reflections: Thoughts from thinking while walking

Special thanks to Ritva for providing the photos. Ritva is in Finland and I encourage readers to visit her blog Ritva Sillanmaki Photography.

I like to walk on the beach. It is good for the mind, body, and soul – and refreshing on my feet.

Although now is a time of daylight, my thoughts are about night – that period of darkness ending with the arrival of light rising over the horizon.

Night is the time also called evening, nighttime, or even nocturne – the time between sunset and sunrise on the continuum of time. When does night start and…

Bootleg Canyon

Cities, Photography, Travel, Traveling US

We ended up at the Bootleg Canyon as one of our friends started to talk to a local at a small local Mexican place. Told us that you can see to both sides to town and hoover Dam from there. So we drove the gravel road up to the top and took some photos in the afternoon and returned at nighttime to see the valley light up. Those photos did not turn up well as I did not have a tripod with me.

The images above are from the afternoon.

So much light, with a better lens and tripod I think I could have had some great shots from this place 🙂

Sydney~6~Opera House

Cities, Photography, Travel, Traveling Australia

I am still in the city of Sydney. the Sydney Opera House looked better in my opinion in the dark with lights on. Oddly enough I was not the only one taking photos of it 🙂 I tried to find different angles when taking the photos.

I like the shots with the boats best… Obviously the top one with the sail boat is my favorite.

I have to say the city sights looked nicer, more impressive at night time. The Bridge

Las Vegas

I don’t have that many night shots as I seem to be home then, or I’ve left the camera home when I am. Maybe I should do something about it… These shots I found from Las Vegas as it is all about nightlife and lights.
