While waiting for the storms to roll in in country Vic lastnight i thought i'd let my family play around while i took some photos.
I really like how the moon has brought out the background.

First one especially is great! All very nice though

Did you get any without the moon? Maybe cutting the sky just below the moon in a couple would work .. take away the eye being drawn to it, but keeping the colours etc

I did this one once the clouds had rolled in a bit more...

The composition isn't the best. We were just mucking around so I didn't bother changing from the wide angle or climbing over the fence to get closer.

I like this, I reckon some cropping would make it very moody, maybe a portrait crop to isolate the tree an dthe clouds..

Thats a tidy lookign orb in the first image, I like the concept of the last, but needs more oommpphf (technical term) on the flash and more importantly the burly tattoed wannabe ballerina replaced with an appropriate sized ballerina :rotfl2:

not that burly tattoed men cannot be ballerina's though, it just ain't my thing :)


lightball is impressively spherical

:agree:

Thanks!

The ball in the first shot was actaully easy to do. I did that in one go.
I just swung my arm around in a circle while turning my body around in circles on the spot.

We tried a few different times with people in the shot. It took a bit of trial and error to balance the flash nicely.

Very nice shots. I guess the first and last one are the best with the rest being very good also.

Love the first one.
As already said - the symmetry is outstanding.

Nice stuff Adam.
I prefer the sky in the first two. Nice colour and cloud forms.
The orb :up:
