Streetlight in Winnetka

While walking home from school along one of the more affluent streets in Winnetka 

yesterday I noticed that that streetlights' illumination of the night, post, branches, 

and wires looked particularly interesting, so I photographed them with a very low 

aperture. The tones worked out nicely, and the limited light evoked an eerie but nifty

 visual effect.

Night photography can be fun, since the only things that can be photographed 

cannot be photographed in the day and the process of acquiring enough light for

 a reasonably good photograph adds a unique twist to the regular point-and-shoot.

 Without light, the results can be blurry and noisy, but with light the scene can be 

quaint and ethereal.
