Went moonlighting with the sundance group. What a turn out on a Sunday evening.

The moon did put on a small show as well. Definitely need a longer lens for this sort of thing. I think Bigpix was using a 500mm + 1.7 + 2. I managed a few with my 17-85. I usually zoom with my feet but that's not possible with the moon apparently...

Even without the moon, this is a magical place at night with the halogen lights (which must be at least a fwe thousand watts)

It was good to finally meet Radar as well.

For your C&C.

We really could not call ourselves the moon dancers, could get all the wrong connetations

I like all the three shots you have posted here, three great perspectives, all holding different interest points.

Good captures in contrast and contenet

See you next time!

Hi Suren,

great to finally have met you.

3rd would be my favourite.

Second one is good but for me, but I would like to see a bit of space on the right, just a bit too tight for my taste on the 8 starting block.

Contradiction in terms??

Cheers,

nioce, no need to bring the lights eh?

The last image is the one that stands out for me, the pano crop works very nicely and I would even go further and maybe shave a bit more off the bottom to separate the image into thirds..do this with the scrolling screen looks good at my end

The first image is very nice composition - but, the first hand rail into the water (on the right) breaks that leading line down to the main subject, the pump house. I know you could clone that out in a jiffy and lookign at the surrounds it would not be hard - however it does remove teh true representation of the scene

Apparently even that's not enough.

Definitely. Really enjoying hanging with the gang! Too bad about the lack of good food afterwards... But then one can't expect too much from a Sunday night though.

Thanks Radar, I will double check whether I cropped this one. I think I may have.

I did take my flash though...also the green EL wire.... Just in case....

Interesting, although when I was composing this, I thought the break would add little more dynamic nature to it all. I am glad to hear your opinion on it though. Meh re: cloning. I try to do minimal PP these days.

Also, they post all their shots (no restriction on numbers) on the flickr group. So I get to check out all perspectives.
