I got really bored last night and went outside to shoot the moon and lo-behold... the moon had disappeared behind a layer of clouds.

So I said bugger it... I'm going to take some really dark shots in low light at less than useful shutter speeds and see how interesting I can get them to look by using Adobe's NEF converter.

POTW material there Leigh... ...but which one to choose? !!!!

Posted: **Thu Aug 11, 2005 10:09 pm**

I can't get PotW again for ageeesssss, sheepie.

And I'm not trying to.

I'm just shooting and posting because I want to.

I'm impressed you got the cat - it's not easy focusing in those conditions!

I admire your courage, I wouldn't have taken photos there :shock:

Cheers,

With people like you Leigh creeping around the burbs with a D70 at night :roll:

You have gotta ask, where are the bloody Cops when you need them :lol:

They have got a real feel of Blair Witch to them
Or

Is that Nnnnnnsic the Worlock :roll:

Different though.

Mic. :wink:

Very Stylistic, I like
did you shoot at high ISO?
they look like storyboard shots for some Horror Movie

unsurprisingly these don't grab me Leigh. I know you can take it. :wink:

Wasn't it too cold to venture outside?

Kind of has that gritty security camera feel. The cat is sort of creepy. It's with such deliberate randomness I don't know what to think, so I generally don't.

I like criticism... I'm the poster boy for this category! Criticise my work, damnit!!!

Okee dokee.

I don't know what to look at. The space and the objects mate at such chaotic randomness, not to mention the subjects themself being so benign, I can't see how nighttime boredom justifies the shutter clicks. It feels like you've broken every rule of composition that makes a photo compelling.

Was that what you were looking for? I could probably go on, but I'm sort of out of breath.

On the other hand I loved your POTW. I thought it was straight up great. These seem snapshotty.

You mean Whipping Boy

this one sits really well with me:

and this one:

Looks like an image from Bill Henson's 2002 series
mundane but ever charming and ominous

Leigh - I reckon you could make a fortune from a gallery exhibition - and, I have even got a name for the expo: ”What NOT to do when you are bored”
