Challenge: Nightscape
So I am temporarily giving up my attempt to find a good picture in the set that I took of an amazing landscape at the botanic gardens. I failed to realize at the time I was taking them, because of general excitement and because I was in an off-limits area and was being yelled at by a security guard, that all of my pictures have a huge pole going through the middle of them. But I was so into the scene through that I will not give in! I will somehow find a way to scrounge a decent photo out of them. But in the meantime, here is what was a backup nightscape, and in the name of progressing our challenges section, is now my official entry for the night picture challenge. It doesn't quite equal your website of inspiration, but I am completely obsessed with taking pictures at night now and will continue to do so and try and work up to pictures as cool as those.

Kaitlyn...love these. They have a very mysterious vibe to them and remind me of your underwater photo.
ReplyDelete1. love the way the pink stripe fades out at the top, the subtle branches and the brightly lit area on the ground that makes it look like there's a whole where light is leaking out from. Also...is that a person, sitting and holding their knees? Just a thought, I'm thinking whether I would like the photo cropped down a bit to eliminate the gate on the left hand side, or maybe just with the streetlight taken out, because it's a little distracting. or, maybe i like it because it still grounds the image in reality and it becomes this weird effect happening in a place that we can recognize...not sure...
2.i like how it has a way of drawing me in and making me want to go into the gate. the light seems viscous and almost oozing out, like you could tangibly feel it. and i like the random dots on the wall.
3. light is crazy, awesome and weird. you should find a way to experiment with nighttime shadows and that extra darker band it creates...
