Thank you all for the great entries! I would like to have more than 3 “medals” to give but, well....the rules are the rules.
@Clix Pix
Like the scene here. Especially the water reflections. It makes extra added value to the image. A bit of noise but that’s what we have to deal with when it’s dark.
@inkmich
Was it some kind of a light festival? We have one in my city which is a tradition and happens yearly. Nice image and thank you for the entry!
@akash.nu
Should be hard to capture a moving subject within the dark scene... What gear did you use to take this picture?
@someoldguy
Very nice image! I hoped that someone would submit long exposure photo of car lights to this contest. Thank you! Always wanted to try one of these kind of scenes myself... but… for now I did not had a chance yet.
@pmxperience
Like the idea that the photograph is somewhere far aside, far “behind the scenes” - The reminds me a look through some “portal” to another world, evening life. Nice!
@Janichsan
This is one of the images I really like for this kind of competition. Reflections add some abstract feeling to it. Well done! Great, clear image. Industrial lights...
@Precision Gem
Truth. I have been to those small French towns (Unfortunately, without my camera at that time). You can not go wrong there. What was inside that building/castle? Again, without reflections in the water the image would have lost it’s “magic”.
@mollyc
Nice composition. A bit of noise but that does not interfere a lot. Did you maybe consider going to one of those events there?
@Apple fanboy
Symmetrical horizontally as well as vertically (reflections). The image is clear, putting emphasis on the lit objects just where it is needed.
@Alexander.Of.Oz
So many bright colors. And not too much. Not interfering with each other but creating a nice composition. Great job!
@deep diver
Fireworks are hard to capture. And there is, probably, not a lot of possibilities/time for training. Tried myself - 5 minutes and everything is gone. Nice try. A bit too much noise, but well, ... fireworks.
@triptolemus
Could not figure - this is a business center, right? Still working hours? That camera had to capture a lot of detail in this image
Which city is it?
@The Bad Guy
Great HDR scene. Instantly reminded me of the "Gothem" theme.
Really love this one! Shadows and mystery.
@kenoh
Is there a water in the background? Is it somewhere in the North Europe? Really nice play with the shadows! Makes me wonder what is happening in there, in the building...
@oblomov
Another “Industrial lights” example. Trains/railroad allways has it’s own special feeling...Especially at night.
@bd4
Street art! Can’t really tell whether it’s a night or a dark tunnel. But no difference - Nice image! Absence of color just makes it better.
@Hughmac
Love those specifically lit objects. It helps to create all the beauty @ night in a city. Thank you! P.S. Only 10:30...Where are all the people?
Time to do it...
