This weeks subject, LOW LIGHT/NIGHT
This can be any subject you choose but it must be taken in the evening when the sun has gone down or when it is dark.
The nights are pulling in now, you should`nt have to be out too late.
So charge them batteries, set a low ISO, pick up a tripod & dont forget to take your remote.
Good luck to everyone & watch out for the boogey man.
Pictures to be taken between 00.01 Monday 31st Aug to Sunday 06th sept 09.
Pictues to be posted to the entry thread by 23.59 pm Monday 07th sept 09.
The poll will be set up on Tuesday 08th September 09 and run untill Friday 11th. The Winner will be announced on Saturday 12th Sept.
NORMAL RULES APPLY
Sounds like a shot in the dark for this topic choice! :2funny: :2funny: :legit:
Got a couple of issues with this one. Mainly, as a parent of a young child going out after dark for this household is an event as rare as rocking horse poo.
We live in the middle of the country, at the end of a track, so no coloured lights or passing traffic.
Lastly, I can't find the remote control anywhere - I think it might be in the washing machine somewhere . . .
You dont have to go to far, perhaps you could set something up in your back garden, Envolve the little ones,
You can be as creative as you like, remember the subject is open.
No, this isn't an entry, but I thought you'd like it. Some years ago it was the very first photo to be published in full colour in our society's newsletter - reporting on a meeting which was interrupted by a power failure!

I have one very similar to this, it`s titled " A Black cat In Coal Store " :)
Unusual for me to be one of the first.

Blimey - finally done it just be searching the posts and site instructions.
Have always struggled posting pictures in threads!
Hi Andrew,
that's fine, but.... this is the "chat for" thread - there's a separate thread for the entries themselves so perhaps you should copy this post to that one. Good luck, I like the photo.

That's the idea.... I have one very similar in mind but I'm not quite happy with what I've taken, so off out again tonight. Hopefully have something to post tomorrow.
Ok folks, the time is up for taking your shots. You have untill midnight tonight to post your entries as the poll will be set there after.

Thanks - i'm clearly getting confused as to which thread i'm posting in!
Hopefully i've got it right now!
On leave from work for the next 2 weeks so hope to have time to enter those competitions as well!
Mine were c**p this week so no entry from me. :(
Oh dear I missed the deadline - never mind will have a go next week maybe.
Transglobal underground, brings back some fond "touring in a transit on the motorway" memories :) Do you know them Veggiesosage ?
No mate, don't know them personally at all. They seem to pop up at a couple of local festivals regularly tho so have seen them a few times in the last few years. They were absolutely storming on Saturday. There's a few more of them on my flickr including this one of them buying chips ;D.

This is an outtake for this weeks. First go at trying to capture star trails but got there a bit late and there was already some light gathering in the sky so only got a 10 min exposure, hence short star trails that are a bit faint in contrast to the sky.
