Night photography is where 50mm lenses really shine! Groan groan! Sorry for the pun… This shot is of the WG Bryan Bridge at night. The bridge is in Neenah, Wisconsin. I took this on the 4th of July just before the fireworks.
I used the nifty fifty Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 lens for the shot and used it at its brightest aperture of f/1.8. I only had to use 400 ISO to get a well exposed shot. This was with my Canon 7d camera which was not a high ISO camera (at least not without a lot of noise).
