PotW 20 January 2009

Postby the foto fanatic on Tue Jan 20, 2009 12:47 pm

The competition was fierce, but my PotW for this week is this unusual shot from Big V:
Image

Taken as a long exposure lit purely by the moon, this one gets my vote because of its technical excellence as well as its photographic merit. I love the totally rusted out Beetle on bricks, the old brick building in the background, and that wonderful starry sky.

The original thread is here. Congratulations Tony.
