    Pulp Wood

    It has been awhile since I have tried a night shot. But I got this on the way home the other night. Let me know what you think. Exposure was 60sec at 4.0

    I really like this shot Greg. The composition is nice, I like the angle and the detail in the lumber but what really grabbed my attention was the trees. The way the light is hitting the trees in the center really make them pop out at me. Was this all natural light?

    The lighting is coming from street lights behind camera. It wasn't much but it worked with the long exposure.

    Re: Pulp Wood

    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    Thanks all, hminx the street lights were probably 40yards away.

    Re: Pulp Wood

    Excellent, Greg. I like everything about this. the subject looks very weird at the angle, against the trees and with the subtle street light.
    Fine shot.
    please do not edit and repost my photos

    Ah, the return of the almighty GM night shot. Tis a beast I've been missing most dearly.

    Awesome shot.
