Hello. My name is Dan, and today I doomsday prepped

I appreciate the amount of effort you put into your posts for us bozos on here.
I need to do the shadow line trim on my car. Debating having one of buddies who owns a wrapping business do them just so I'm not committed to one color or the other.
What lens/body were you using on the last shot?
Wrapping is a great idea! In the old days before vinyl warp, electrical tape was the go to for those wary of painting.
Camera is a d7200 with an f1.8 35mm lens. I set it to f1.8 for that shot

I had a suspicion it was a 35mm. Definitely the next one on my list.

Man that driveway shot is gorgeous!
Good to know new clips are still available! I've had a piece or two of that trim fly off before...

Thanks! Small DOF and dramatic lighting make a boring old driveway much better LOL

stopped at a couple spots while running errands and snapped a few more photos since the car was clean. tried to go to places that are now empty due to the situation where normally cars and people might be in the way.
my photo variety has been boring lately (lots of 3/4 wide shots), but whatever.

Those are some wallpaper quality shots.

happened to find the moon out last night
This middle german 'style' building seemed appropriate. Fachwerkhäuser!
Milwaukee buildings are displaying red white and blue colors as a display of hope that we will get through this pandemic.

Is that german building Mader's over on 3rd st? Great photos, if you're looking for other spots you might try over near Kadish park/Kilbourn Reservoir park. Might be some good angles overlooking downtown from North Ave, although its been awhile since I've been over there.

How long of an exposure are you using for these shots?
I was kind of wondering about this as well. The sky seems to have a lot of color to it. I was thinking maybe these were taken not long after sunset... maybe half-hour/hour?

there is a lot of ambient light in this area, so the exposures were from 5 to 15sec, at ISO400 f7.1
these were taken about 9pm. it was fully dark outside (besides the moon). in my experience, the sky is always blue in long night exposures. from what I read, there are several things that affect that - the moon, time of night, light pollution, etc. i've never had a greyish black long exposure come from the camera. shorter exposures do tend to look greyish black.
my process is this - set the camera to an appropriate aperture (f7 to 9ish for 'landscape' scene) and low ISO and let the camera expose the scene. what will happen a lot is it will expose the maximum time (30sec on my particular camera) and the scene will still be underexposed. i then crank up the ISO until I get a reasonable shot. after getting a close exposure, i use exposure compensation to dial in the exact amount. that will make the camera add or remove a second or two from the exposure. if its REALLY dark out and there arent many light sources, you'll also have to crank the aperture open
also a sturdy tripod and using the shutter timer (or remote) are 100% necessary for exposures these long. you still can handhold night shots, but you'll have to use a big apertures (like 1.8) and high ISO to get the exposure times down.
for example, this shot was handheld. It was shot at f2.2 IS01600 with a 1/4 sec exposure. even at a 1/4sec i took several photos to get one steady enough to be sharp.
and for funzees, here are some non-car long exposure night photos I have taken.

Lets go take pics tonight! The blackness of my paint will tie in with the blackness of everything else!
I'd like to see a long exposure needle sweep photo of a tach. Im sure my temperature gauge would have a nice needle sweep too if we wait long enough.
black should be interesting! i'm free tonight, hit me up.
