Re: DP Now Salon Competition No 116 - Night Photography

sorry, couldn't resist......



single exposure using a canon 40d, through an 8", 1000mm 'scope at prime focus. tweaked a little to bring out extra detail.

now itching to get some clear nights to have a better crack at this, and its near (visually) neighbour, the horsehead nebula.

Just another day to get your Night Photographs into the competition. Thanks everyone for making the effort. My task is not going to be easy.

A Happy New Year to you All.

Re: DP Now Salon Competition No 116 - Night Photography

Once again thank you to all who have contributed to making this competition.

As usual the task has not been easy but I believe all the images qualified as “Night Photography.”

There was a similarity with some of the submissions, however my choice of winners has been decided upon by composition, technical ability and finally how much the image took my eye.

They are all quite different and here are the results.

In THIRD place we have Svetlana’s (Gentle.Ivy) well composed and exposed image of Bristol at Night. The quality of this image is amazing.

In SECOND place I have chosen an image that could only have been achieved at night and with specialist equipment and that is Dave’s (Devilgas). This is a spectacular image and I could image it (without the text) on the front cover of a magazine.

Finally,

In FIRST place is veggiesosage’s Moonlight over the Lake. This is one image that works for me even though the rule of thirds has been flouted. It is a beautiful soothing and calming image. I would say that to get the best view of this image, go to Veggiesosage’s gallery and click on it to get the larger image.

Well done everybody and over to you Veggisosage.

Congratulations Veggiesosage for the first place and thank you Audrey for your another run. I regret I could not find a night photo other than some of heavily blurred lunar eclipse.

Re: DP Now Salon Competition No 116 - Night Photography

Thanks ever so much for choosing my pic Autumn! Have to say I don't really believe in the rule of thirds with reflection pics . Would like to say though that this is my favourite pic of my own that I've ever taken so I'm a little bit proud it's won.

Give us a day or two to think up a new theme...
