I like the way the pic is 'divided into sections'... yet still hangs together as a whole. Might look good as a poster...
Buttermere... A bit too much hill, I think: not enough room for the pic to 'breathe'...
Whoa

i used a walmart LED car light..its about 18 inches and changes different colors. it's only for cars so it takes a 12V to power it on, but i hooked up a 9V and 2AA batteries to it and it worked like a charm. also got to connect a little rocker switcher for it to turn on&off.
there's more light painting photos in my signature link if your interested. feel free to ask any questions!
Thanks, Doylem. Yes, the divisions were exactly what I had to sort out. I wanted them there of course, to get the contrast between the riot of color and activity in the city versus the calm of the bay. However, when I first framed my shot, I aimed more to the right to cut out the two chimneys that extend up into the top division. I then realized that I need those chimneys in the frame as "connectors." (Surely something I would have missed if I hadn't been using a tripod!
) And I think your poster comment is right on: this one suffers a bit from being so small.What a simply superb tree! I don't think that HDR is a bad choice with this shot, but I would tone down the saturation, at least of the greens. The halo around the tree is also unfortunate.

A photo with a lot of character and some really nice alignments. One of the better concert shots I've seen posted here in a long time.
I love long exposure photography. The car lights play with the rule of thirds well, and I love the way the colors from the natural upper part of the photo interact with the busy city scene!

Thanks, I appreciate that coming from someone like yourself. I think that concert photography is my strong-point, and my favorite thing to shoot.

Love it! Amazing lighting (both band and audience) and it captures a good moment - reminds me of my youth staring at my favorite bands in Circus. (BTW, awesome logo!)
Done fishing...

Very cool shot. As it was displaying from top down, I found myself wondering what was going on as I was transported from one reality to something completely different.

I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I am leaving for Europe on Tuesday to visit Europe. We are taking 30 students to visit battlefields where Canadians made significant contributions during the first and second World War. Yesterday (Friday) the organizing teacher came to me upset because of the image the local Legion had given her to present in Ypres was a bad photocopy of two images placed side-by-side in the scanner. She desperately wanted some help. I stopped by McCrae House and shot some images. I ended up only using the Flags and a copper cast of his Flander's Field poem. The curator of McCrae House was kind enough to email me a good scan of Col. John McCrae and the original draft in McCrae's handwriting. I was able to find a decent quality image of the legion crest online. The image below is the montage of these pics and the one we will take with us to Ypres and Vimy. It's the kind of image that attempts to show pride in our country and pride in a community that produced a fine man like Dr. Col. John McCrae.
The blur and colour of the background is intentional to push those items back. I struggled a little with the placement of elements because I had shot so much imagery. In the end, a more simplified composition seemed appropriate.
