YIKES! I froze the other evening

[Callalily]

taking night shots! I was so cold when I got home I went to bed and put my electric blanket on HIGH! I never warmed up! Oh the joys of night photography and living where I live!

But I did learn a lot about night photography and to be perfectly honest it was fun experimenting. I have been a little "burnt out" lately taking photos and this exercise has inspired me.

1. Very nice!

Hope you finally got warm!

Can't decide which is my favorite. Love the clock but I think maybe the bench. It looks cold and stark....in the dark.

2. Thanks Solly for viewing and your

comments. I too like the bench and have photographed it (or others like in on our grounds) many times.

And yes, I finally did get warm! Thanks!

Oh btw, neither photo is submitted in the contest!

3. I shivvver with you. It's cold in the South, too.

How well do I know this clock (and like it very much)
let me count ...
(right?)

It looks wintry and cold in both photographs, maybe because I no longer remember warmth.
Look forward to your entry, and all of them.

6. I live in the South for a reason.

And it's cold.
Sorry about your situation. I barely would visit there for reasons of possible temps below 40. If you know what i'm trying to say..........

7. this cold front hitting the south will give us a high of mid-70s in the Daytona area

10. Thanks Mira! At first I was going

to use a photo that I took last summer, but decided to brave the cold and went out shooting for new stuff. I'm glad I did. Although it was cold, experimenting not only was a lot of fun but a nice learning experience too!

4. Nice. No noticeable noise in the shadows.

8. nice - I like that bench - did you add any lighting?

[Callalily]

9. Thank you. No, I didn't

add any lighting. There's a lamp post right next to the bench (just like the one next to the clock) so there's more than enoujgh available light!

11. i love the bench

the brightness of the clock face is overwhelming to me. that seems like the kind of shot i would try HDR on
