Night Art

Very nice, very interesting. It took me a while to figure this out. I have never seen outdoor lights like this. Nice art.

Interesting. I like it, but I'm sure it could have been much better than this... I'm love darkness in photography, but here, I feel it's a bit too much, because I don't feel the need for so much background in fact. The real subject - the street lamps - ends up a bit lost in my opinion. I would certainly advise to go for close-ups. I'm sure you would get much more spectacular images...

Thank you for the constructive comments, Marc. Indeed, cropping the image (to exclude the dark sides) produced a more dramatic effect. I'll try shooting from a different angle on my next trip. I wanted the tree slightly visible in the background to give a perspective of relative size, otherwise the scene would look like a bunch of lit dental mirrors! :-)

I really like this!

The thumbnail caught my attention; I thought it was a still life of glassware, and that intrigued me -but a closer look, and this was a found scene!

Excellent capture of the opportunity... this is the sort of thing that would intrigue me -and take me half a dozen shoots (if ever) to get it right.

Thanks, Bryce. What wasn't mentioned was the 3" layer of dead insects I had to clean off the the surface of the inground lamps; you'd think bugs would be wise to hot lamps by now. :-)

Very cool

Rebecca, it's a simple picture of another artist's creation that's very striking to see in person. Thanks for digging deep into my humble portfolio. :-)
