I haven't posted a lot lately, been in more in a photo-y mood than a write-y mood, I guess. (I didn't do NaNoWriMo this year after all.) I have been experimenting with long exposures and other kinds of night or low-light photography. Most of these have been pretty unsuccessful, but I feel like I'm learning and getting a little better at it. I'm pleased with how the one above came out. But this one, below, came out a little dark (ha, ha):
Some other more and less pathetic attempts, taken over the past couple of years since I first got my digital camera:
Also, my friend kimberkit edited one of my earlier night shots for me. I like her version, on the right, much better than my original, on the left.
I would love to get Photoshop
(although I'd certainly settle for the less expensive elements version in a heartbeat)..

You ought to give the GIMP a try, since it's free. It lets you do a lot of the things you can do in PS.
That top photo has a great Hopper-esque feel to it.
Hello Gienna,
Found your site via Jenn Garrett and I have been admiring your photos for a while. Don't be so hard on yourself, I think you have a great eye for things! Your pics show that you have put a lot of thought into them and I appreciate that. You have a unique perspective and it really shows in your fun pictures. Not sure how much the opinion of a complete stranger matters, but I really like them.
So thanks for sharing them.
