Stock Shot Project

Arrived in Athens.  The evening brought storm clouds and some rain so I relied on night time shooting to capture this image of the Acropolis.  It is possible to capture shots like this with a blue, night sky even in inclement weather. For more information on how to do this visit my other blog of photo lessons here: Learn Photography.  The shot was done with a Nikon D7000 and 24-70mm Nikkor zoom, f/5.6 and 1/6 second exposure with 100 ISO.  The camera was on a tripod but I didn't have a cable release so I set the camera self-timer for 2 second delay.  That way when I pressed the shutter the camera had 2 seconds to settle down and prevent motion blur of the image.
