With Rodney's images up, I dont think there is much for me to add, but here are a few of my favourites from the night. However, huge thanks have to go out to everyone there that night, I had a disaster with gear (forgot torch, timer remote etc) but I still managed to have heaps of fun.

Demonic Orb

That first one is cool! Makes me think of the time travel orb from Terminator.

The red tunnel is nice, one of my favorites, in hindsight a person silhouetted at the end of teh tunnel would have been perfect.

The first one is the best. Definitely looks like the time orb from Terminator...whoever was in the middle of that wasn't naked were they?

For once, I'm with the crowd and
choose 31 as the best of the series.
Well done!

I like number 4 but would prefer to see about 10% cropped off each vertical edge. I don't think that last bit of darkness on either edge adds to the feelin of the image.

As Gerry indicated, a hint of something - a sillouette or something just in the shadows would add to the sense of danger and intrigue. Still a fantastic still :)

Seriously dude, I would have been fine with anything from 9-11% (as long as total crop page is not greater than 20%) :biglaugh:

I love the first one. How do you get the dome/orb so perfect?

The orb/dome was produced with a light on the end of a length of dowel that was secured to a pylon(?) that was in the centre of the ring you see in the image.

#4 I reckon I can see a slight silhoutte at the end of the tunnel. Can you brighten it up from your end and see?? You've done well without remote etc!
