Default Hanging out at night
The other night I was hanging out with my family, and really felt the urge to take some night photos. Here are a couple of my favorites that came out of the bunch

Lonely campfire

Darkness lit up

The second one was taken in near darkness, but I exposed it for long enough for the nearby city to light up the sky.

Superb captures, I especially like the 1st one with the glow from the fire.

Excellent work.
