In looking at the shots afterwards, I am pleased with how they turned out, but I may go back.  Really for two reasons: 1st, I would like to play with the duration a bit more of my shots and 2nd, I ended up only staying for about 20 minutes.  It was very dark and as I said, not the best part of town.  So the next time, I will bring someone along with me if I can. Any takers?  :-)

Some technical info for those of you that are interested:  The first shot is a glimpse of where I was situated.  I set the camera to an ISO of 100, f8 aperture and kept the shutter open for 25 seconds.  The bottom 2 shots are the same except the exposure was only for about 8 seconds.

And this is one of those shots!

I took this as I was walking down a street in downtown Atlanta. I saw this alley and I just wondered into it to see what I would find.  I never went to the front of the building to see what this was; I assume some sort of concert hall.  Either way, I love the grunge of it.
