Tampa Theater puts on Sunset Cinema in parks and outdoor venues. On Saturday they held one at Curtis Hixon Park in honor of the Tampa Museum of Art grand opening. What film did they show? “Night at the Museum” of course! The kids had a blast, including our toddler. Tampa Theater brings out a mini concession with movie popcorn, candy, and soda. Although it was quite cold, turnout was high. It began drizzling halfway through and some people left, but it didn’t last long.

The objective for me was experimenting with long exposures. I used a tripod and cable release for all of the images below. With the exception of fireworks, I have never done this type of photography before. Focus was difficult in the low light. Noise and color were the biggest challenges in post processing. I did the best I could with the time I was willing to spend on it. Lesson learned: Night photography is really not my thing.
