A good topic

Anyone want to help me pick from these?

2. Edinburgh Castle lit up at night


3. A Halloween Horror


4. Flowers "drawn" by torchlight

a few from last weekend

candle plus a beauty dish


ambient light plus two candles and a reflector held on her lap



the underground bunker at the eagles nest (now sadly turned into a bloody fast food restaurant if you ever make it to the top )



Lit with a security light at an old abandoned service station near Salisbury (now a new dealership so I got here last too)



The fantastic Sleeping with Giants lit with the stage lights



Cross lit with red gels



Lit with sun and some fill in flash



Good old fashioned sun light



Carcassonne





Sorry, got carried away! No light trails for me though

Hoping to enter for the first time here but not with this one. Found it while looking for others. This was taken in the Witchery in Edinburgh and is a light refraction through a wine glass. 3 spooky things?

[racing green]

Not quite got the hang of this so try again - some more light refraction
XK120 at the Revival 2008 - is this too literal?

Probably hopelessly out of my depth in such company but I've always rather liked this photo of a friend's band.

What Woza said. That's a beautiful snap. Exposure and F number? Being a total newcomer to SLRs, shots like this, which have a great depth of field, intricate detail and water which has been texturised through exp. time excite me!
