Pantheon Night Photography

The Pantheon in Rome, Italy has a gorgeous facade. During the day, the former Roman temple is overrun with tourists. The real treat was returning to the Piazza della Rotonda after the crowds had cleared so that I could focus on the Pantheon without distraction.

Hoover Tower at Night

After the Full Moon on the Quad photos, I strolled down Serra Street to the fountain between Memorial Auditorium (Mem Aud) and Hoover Tower.

At night, the wide angle of the 14-24mm lens can pick up glare from off-image light sources. Avoiding the bright peripheral lights from street lamps prevents the appearance of UFOs hell bent on attacking Hoover Tower.

Mid-Autumn Festival or the Moon Festival at the Stanford Quad. I think I was testing ISO at this point. The image is pretty clean for ISO 5600.
