Theme: Late at night...

I don't stay up late as much anymore but once in a while, those sleepless nights creep up on you.

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.

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.
