Standpipe Shots

More festival fun today, mmm, Korean food. Anyway.  After, Dave accompanied me on a night time shoot of the Standpipe, my favorite structure in Bangor.  I LOVE the standpipe.  It’s sort of a north star compass point for me, I always seek it out, whichever direction I’m coming from, wherever I’m going.  It’s a habit to just look up at the lights, and I just really adore it.  It’s so much better than typical standpipes, with town names painted on them, or the robin’s egg blue, or the red and white checkered ones.  So, yay, standpipe.  The C5050 takes up to a 16s exposure, so that’s what I used, and then played with contrast and such after.  I LOVE the G4 for the speed and efficiency of dealing with pics, that’s for sure.

ETA: Info on the Standpipe, but yes, it is a water tower. I think(?) it has also been featured in a Stephen King book or two (IT, maybe?) but a more diehard King fan would know for sure.
