MPC #56 Night (10/8-10/22)

**mtcham** · 10-08-2010, 04:20 PM

Theme is Night. (10/8-10/22)

Outdoor photographs shot after dusk and before dawn. I'm leaning toward longer exposures but if you are in a city and it's lit up, faster speeds are all good.

RULES:
1. Photos must be taken within the time period of the contest.
2. You may submit 3 photos during the competition.
3. The contest moderator will choose 5 photos to be voted on.
4. The winner will get a happy feeling in his/her pants. (That is a rule by the way, not an option.)
5. In the event of a tie, the contest moderator will have the deciding vote.
6. Winner will be the contest starter/moderator for the next comp.
7. The winner has 3 days to start a new contest or 2nd place becomes the new winner.

I'm guessing Fuzz will be able to work his astrophotography into this one.

**Fuzz** · 10-08-2010, 05:30 PM

I don't know...I think Lane and Lonnie, at a minimum, will be tough to beat.

**outabounds** · 10-08-2010, 06:36 PM

There's going to be a lot of great entries for this one.

If we'd started a day earlier maybe!

Just kidding!

**splitter** · 10-08-2010, 11:24 PM

**SchralphMacchio** · 10-08-2010, 11:43 PM

Ah, the best of both world's. 3% tonight > full on the 22nd, should throw some light a few days before full

Sorry Lonnie, but I see water and clouds-you scored. Nice shots in POTD! Mind if I ask which Park the kiva is in? Looks like Canyonlands.

Love that lens. Mine stays on the camera unless I need something else.

**farmer** · 10-09-2010, 02:00 PM

been waiting to get a shot of the town here at night. finally have a reason just to go do it. Time to find the right spot to get the view from!

**Southeast Maggot** · 10-10-2010, 07:10 PM

This is kind of messy, but here is #1, Seneca Rocks, WV:

**pbourdon** · 10-12-2010, 02:58 PM

None are eligible, but I thought I'd toss 'em in here any way...

You probably can't see it here, but there was a deer standing in the field for part of this exposure. I can see him in PS if I zoom in...pretty wild. I never noticed him until he moved. Super stealth.

one more..

**japollner** · 10-12-2010, 07:01 PM

Not eligible, but wanted to toss it out there.

**DrMintJelly** · 10-13-2010, 09:59 PM

Here are my three.

**kidwoo** · 10-13-2010, 10:40 PM

Dr mint jelleyoh wins.

**patxi** · 10-15-2010, 04:02 AM

Another ineligible one.

**Fuzz** · 10-15-2010, 06:55 AM

^ Damn, patxi, that would have gotten my vote.

I'll try to put up some eligible ones later today. Some ineligible ones in the meantime:

I'm not sure about the concept. Could someone please post more ineligible pix to explain?

NICE WORK!

yes I agree, I too am unsure about the concept.

**El Chupacabra** · 10-15-2010, 11:54 AM

Something along this theme could work too:

**Fuzz** · 10-15-2010, 12:24 PM

Wanted to try out some more ideas, but weather foiled me last week and work will get in the way next week, so this is what I got.

#1. Ship to Orion: 2 x 30-sec, shot with Canon 40D + Sigma 10-20mm @ 10mm, f/4, ISO1600, on static tripod.

#2. Dawn: 2 x 30-sec, shot with Canon 40D + Sigma 10-20mm @ 10mm, f/4, ISO1600, on static tripod.

#3. The Seven Sisters (also visible on the right edge of #1 above): Total 7 hours 7min exposure (134 x 30-sec + 134 x 1-min + 113 x 2-min), shot with Canon 40D + Canon 28-300mm @ 300mm, f/8, ISO1600 on equatorial telescope mount.
