CHAT - NIGHTTIME- Weekend Competition Aug 31st - Sep 2nd 2012

[wavemachine]

Nor me (sorry) Plan C was a disaster and to make matters worst I forgot there was a graveyard down the road which would have been perfect arggggggh!

I am off to pick up a shiny new lens now so the poll will be a little late today (mid afternoon) hope that is okay if anyone else wants to do it then please do otherwise I will do it when I get back.

As numbers are low and there are some great shots this week i am going to pad out the entries with this. Was not going to bother as it is not what i had wanted to do and to be honest, in my opinion not that good.

Nighttime Drag Racing

Okay polls now up here

Thanks for making the numbers up Jeff, I like the shot BTW.

Just viewed mine on my phone and you can barely see it, far to dark. Opps

And so you should feel great, it was a great shot and was a flip of the coin for me between yours and alexharrison101, who ultimately got my vote.

So ups and downs,

up - Urban Night Scape

La Pistola, I think you had a great idea, but as You have already mentioned, it was a bit too dark which means alot of the space in the image has nothing on it. It was a great attempt and I think if you try again the results would be better. Great attempt.

Down - St mary's Church, Derby

A great shot and had me from the begining, I love the bridge leading to the church with the lights on it, and the fact you did not try to cram too much in to the shot, brilliant effort and a worthy second place.

I was truely inspired by this theme (Thankyou Kerbside), so much so that I went out last night for a couple of hours to try and capture a few of my local landmarks that I knew would be lit up, but the results were not brilliant, I think I still have alot to learn. The main problem is noise on the pictures, when I get chance this evening I will post a couple on the Critique thread and would be grateful if you could all keep your eye open for them and give some feedback, Cheers.

John, Glad that you were inspired, i should of picked a different theme as i was camping in a field at a Dragstrip, not much to take pics of at night along with having a few beers, not good.

Anyway some great pics this week and my vote went to Sabrina, thought this was a great shot, loved it. Competition was close this week making it hard to vote.

up - Bad Moon Rising
Great atmospheric shot Chris, loved the cloud around the moon, surprised this did not poll more votes but as said it was a strong week.

Down - Urban Night Scape
Concept was good but too dark with not enough detail in my humble opinion, i do like a misty moon however.
