Lights in the Night. - a photo on Flickriver

            Lights in the Night.. 

This is the last image I'm going to post from the night I captured my previous two photos.. 02/08/2021

In my opinion, it's funny how this photo was captured.  On my way to take the cross photograph for my Aunt (also my 52 week challenge 'lights in the dark').. I was programing and attempting to set up my camera settings in manual (in the car/in the dark) on my way.  However, when we stopped at the light (Inner-section of the Black Horse Pike or Rt. 322 & Weymouth Road).. I saw a beautiful sight across the pike.  It was some of the last snow on the ground, flawless and totally untouched - on the hill - opposite the pike from me. 
It was trees on the hill.. casting beautiful stretching shadows down the hill leading to the pike..  on the perfect flawless snow.  I was in complete AWE, because of what I was seeing.. and right away I thought, ' I have to take a picture of this, QUICK!' So before the light changed - I attempted to snap a photo of the gorgeous landscape before me..
   >>However!!.....!! lol!! 
Because of how dark it was... & because I was rushing, (before the light changed).. When I snapped the photo my camera accidently focused on the salt covered/dirty windshield, instead.  ((leaving the textured look, you see here)).  
  >The camera also captured the red traffic lights, as the light bokeh you see here.

Now, as much as a mistake this photo was...  I immediately seen it pop up on the 'preview screen' and gasped/yelled/jumped!  I was really excited at how this turned out..  This total accident of a photograph.
    - Right away I showed Juan, who also loved the photo just as much as I did.  & The light turned green.. and we had to go. (As to not hold up the traffic behind us..)

So that's the story behind this photo.

ALSO, I wanted to THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR NIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS!!
& Let you all know that,  YES, I FIGURED OUT HOW TO CHANGE MY ISO on my camera!!  
Thank you thank you thank you again!!!

....>>> Now, although I haven't yet taken any photos (just practice shots, I'm NOT posting them lol).  But I DID FIGURE IT OUT !!

So, once again, THANK YOU!
& I plan on practicing that sometime soon and I'll defiantly post whatever I get .. then :)

One more thing, before I'm off to work..  


You know I love light and color..
So I'm feeling like the past 3 images of *Lights in the Dark* are really dark and not me.. 

So expect my next images to be back to my old self, hopefully..
 Because my Photostream needs some bright light and colors.. Like NOW!


Off to work I go...
I wish you all have a very blessed day! Take care & Happy Photo Taking!
