I was at Clarendon the other night and was surprised at not only how I wasn’t quite freezing to death in the middle of February, but also how clear and serene the evening seemed to be, even right outside the Metro station. What better time to do a little nighttime photography?

I hadn’t planned on this evening activity and thus did not have a tripod with me, but I took advantage of a newspaper box for support and did a few different exposures, ending with this one, which was eight seconds at f13, ISO 100, and I think the best of them all.

What’s your favorite place to get some after-dark snapshots?
