hmm... 'late' seems to be a time that I am either asleep or in pajamas, so this is the 'latest' night shot I have.

Didn't have a tripod handy, so I used the roof of my car. Experimented with cropping out the empty space, but it removed the sense of scale.

A game of Cachito (also known as "Liar's Dice") will often go late into the night.

Is this going to get judged?

pakyooh · Apr 12, 2013, 07:38 AM

Great job everyone. Have to do some work tonight so I'm pressed for time and can only do a write up for the top 3. I'll try to do the rest over the weekend.

3rd: Melizard
Scenery looks great. I think the image would be stronger if it was landscape and shows more of the surrounding.

2nd: acearchie
Very cinematic, I'm a sucker for shots that aren't too literal and can lead to a good story.

1st: fireman32
POV is killer! Composition is great, foreground frames the sky just right. Definitely want to know more about this shot!

Well color me shocked. I did not think I had a winner this week but thank you for choosing me pakyooh. This shot was taken at my yearly trip to the NC mountains to shoot the fall colors and the waterfalls. I decided to try my hand at some astrophotography. This was a 30 second exposure and I used a flashlight to do some lightpainting on the trees.

I will come up with a new theme and post it shortly.
