Classic night shot very well worked.Are the stars real or did you add them!Excellent photography-I must try out this technique!
All the best, Tony


Dave Arnold   {K:55613} 7/30/2007
Hi Tony and thanks. Yup, the stars are real. Was happy to get a few considering the cloudy conditions.

Best wishes,
Dave

OH YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love the really deep black, the ghostly tree, the sweep of the clouds across a sky begging for unobscured moonshine. Those few stars are a grand feature!

Superb contrasts.. it moves me...

Hugs~
Ani :)

Wonderful shot.
I think the color shot that I commented on earlier has a bit more depth to it just from the color.
I would prefer this in color.
I like the lighting that you painted on for the nice effect.
The clouds and stars really make the Background of this shot!


Dave Arnold   {K:55613} 7/30/2007
Thank you, Ani. Now on this one, it really needs a model posing... perhaps in some kind of black cape with a hood... kind of like Shirley's models...

Hugs,
Dave

Oh yes, Cap'n! Feels very Gothic to me!:)))


Dave Arnold   {K:55613} 7/30/2007
Thanks, Mike. I did change this from color to grayscale, just because of the eeriness I sought. The color version may be posted later. It has a beautiful dark blue sky. It was a tough choice for me to decide on color vs B&W.

Dave


Aniko Heart   {K:25957} 7/30/2007
Right on Dave! :) :) :)
I didn' want to say that after what I said re the last one, or I feared (nah... not feared, but for want of a better word), that you might think I am unable to get away from that sort of "theme"... (I ain't addicted!!!)LOL!
:):):)

wow....a great b&w night shot! The lighting here, the composition, the weathered trunk and the sky are all so perfect!! Excellent!
Regards, Ahmed

Hey my dear "ugly man"....in "your age"(I saw you sad that:)LOL) you are really fantastic with those night shots...you are something we call "night bird"(I don't know how sais in USA:))

This is another favorite for me...I suppose I'm some kind of vampire ....I like night....Hey did you knew..the vampir is Serbian word ...the only one which is international now...and most famose vampir (and first one in literature)in Serbia is Sava Savanovic...:)))

Little interesting notice of serbia :))))

big hug to wonderful friend Cap.M.and big kiss to mydear poor Dee:)

Dave Arnold   {K:55613} 7/31/2007
Hmm, Biljana. I'll have to try and think of what we call all-night people... oh yeah, we call the night owls. Pretty similar to what you call them.

I don't know... night shooting with a vampire? Maybe we shouldn't try that... LOL

Here's another shot of brat boy. He's a regular tourist, he loves watching views, even while driving. Better than my kids, who sleep the whole trip.

Tourista


biljana mitrovic   {K:43917} 7/31/2007
He is gorgeous....I hope hogar doesn't see that he is extremly jelouse ...I think he would eat Dee even he has only 10 kg,and 49 cm high...:)))But he has heart like lion:)))

Shooting with vampires...maybe you should try,but you must take with you a lot garlic and hawthorne...it's very effective against vampires.....:)))))

hug to you and tourista
