On a recent outing with our photography class we did some sunset/night photography down by the lake.
Living in the city you sometimes forget how beautiful our surroundings are.
We started down at Cherry Beach with some beautiful light in the sky & kicking off the water.
5 minutes from downtown but so peaceful.

Once the sun had set we then did some great skyline shots of the city.
Some of has tripods which enabled us to do longer exposures & get more depth to our photos.
As we were shooting for about 1 hour , there was a group of guys that pulled up in their sport cars.
Blasting away their music with their cars running , we were able to get the light coming off their headlights which added some interest to the dark edge where the ship was resting in the water.
