Night Photography

So late last night, Marcee and I had the urge to take some night shots. We previously did night photography in spring quarter. It was soooo much fun, and Marcee knew of this really cool antebellum house out in Bostwick. So we drove out to the middle of nowwhere at like 10:30pm and took some really cool shots. We're hoping that it might work for our fill flash. So I'm hoping to put some on flickr as soon as I can edit them!!
