The Night Harvest

a Busy month ahead for me again so another early entry.

Something a bit different.I found this field and these "round things" Friday night and it was pitch dark.so Armed with my 1,000000 candle power torch I set up this 170sec exposure...running around the field painting the Bale and surroundings with light..I really pleased with the result,hope you like it too.

Superb though!

Nice effect!

 

Awesome as usual Alex

 

Amazing sky reminds me a bit of the northern lights

 

Nice Photo Vulkan, in your own style of course

 

Absolutely superb Alex. Great image. And on theme too. An early front runner...

 

what a really super shot
i love the colours you have picked up excellent.

 

Superb Shot, well done.

 

another good image from you

i like all the effects

 

Love the deep colours

 

Very nice.....

 

Great job. I tried to do this for last months entry - a single bail of square hay in amongst a field of round ones. However, I couldn't quite get the effect I wanted with a flash and was going to buy a powerful torch but never got round to it.

I was going to do it for this month but alas! I'm to slow!!

Nice photo though it doesn't even look like night!

 

Talk about raising the bar!

That certainly sets a standard.

 

Great shot alex - Very dramatic image, and screams out your style.

Good entry

 

Ahiy!

Yeah, nice shot . . . but I bet you can't eat a Rowntrees fruit pastel without chewing it!

 

Another wonderfully composed and process shot Alex.. I like it ,..Well Done

 

Surreal sky!..........strong entry this, a good take on the 'hay bale' shot, loads about and your approach has made it that bit more interesting.

 

very nice - excellent shot indeed!

 

Thats a great show and it would have been fun watching you taking the shot.

Check out in your local press for reports of a "madman" running around in a field with a torch.

 

Thanks very much...I must have looked a bit dodgy I must admit...and I was conscious..but some things are worth trying

 

Received the original as well Alex

 

Thats another idea gone !!

Well done.

You could never enter under a false name mate, we'd know who it was straight away !

Excellent image, great idea and fantastic effort

 

That sure is a lot of candles great shot

 

I've tried the "painting with torch light" myself, and have never managed to get anything anywhere near this good.

Perhaps I need to get myself a bigger torch!

I like this alot. Great take on the theme and I really like the composure.

 

I Don't pop in here very often and post........ But this pic is great !!

Nicely Done

 

I initially bought a 2,000000 candle power torch but it was way to mch for painting with light...this one is border line too....better if you are further away.Although targeting subjects can be tricky

thanks for the comments

Dean thanks for dropping in, come back more often like... ermmm.. on voting day

 

When is voting day ??

I used to love photography, a hobby i would love to get more involved in again, only the other day i was sorting the loft and come across my stored away gear - Pratika BX20 with my sigma lenses

I have digital stuff now and the stuff i have just ain't the same..... control etc... and i miss my grindy power winder...

Oopppss ramblin on again.............
