A nice spot of light painting mate, good coverage and a nice little bit of a reflection starting but you need to make sure that you have a clean surface for the subject there are a few buts of stuff on the black surface :bonk:

tonight i was slightly dissapointed as i was hoping to get a nice shot of tonights full moon.
just as i got into position as reliable as the good old british weather can be...It clouded over.
Therfore decided to take this view of St michaels cathedral in coventry

69/366 The moon in motion by The-dodo, on Flickr

watching the clouds pass infront of the moon this evening gave me the inspiration for todays photo.
I couldnt get into the perfect location as i was concerned if i went around hunting for one, knowing my luck the opportunity would be gone, therfore i took this from the balcony at the back of my house
 
71/366......Out once again with matt for a spot of startrailing and strobist work, the strobist work didnt go quite to plan, as we were located next to the canal around 3 frames into the painting my lens began to fog up, renedering most of the lighting unusable

73/366......
Not something i would usually do for my challenge, but with the invite from a local paranormal research group, who had seen some of my nighttime stuff, i was asked to spend a while messing around in an old celler beneath the golden cross pub in coventry.
Not a photo i would normally keep, but something a bit different

Its smack bang in the middle of the canal basin, i would of done some stobist work on it but i forget to change the batterys in my flash:bang:
 
I was really not happy with the way this turned out color wise, my screen had done some weird re-set, so after re-calibrating i had another play with todays image, and(y)(y) to matt for his version also(y)

Darrell, you have a lot of great daily photos here, the church ruins are amongst the outstanding in my mind..star trails..i've never tried so good effort..i spot a familiar windmill in there..(y)

as for light trails... i see Matt has some competition in the making..

i think some of yours lack depth.. what do you use for PP, maybe if you added contrast? :thinking: ... though the bridge on day 22 is brilliant...

if one stood out though is day 47... was this painted with light? or flash... its just a shame about the tiled wall.. moved to a table by itself then taken...:shrug:

overall.. you made a remarkable start to the year... keep going.. (y)
 
I love the barrels (y) that works well though I suspect that with the coloured banding I think that the colour version would have been better

I also like the church (y) but do think that the second version is a lot better tonally (y) than the HDRed first one

Hi Darrell, just had a quick flick through, you have a thread full of excellent pics, going back to day one, that was a stunning image to start the project with. Like the chesterton shot from the other night. (y)

Cheers, i do like the way it came out, im always hunting for new locations around by me, the only downside is always combating LP, i would love to find a location right out in the sticks, with pitch black sky's(y)
