Alright, here's the Week 2 challenge: Night Landscape. It ended up being A LOT harder than I first imagined. Along with losing my wireless remote, I ended up not being able to get as many images as planned. Silly me figured NIGHT landscapes would be better taken in the dead of NIGHT rather than around dusk. The one I managed to get in as the dusk was slipping away ended up being my final image.
Final Image:
Over in Oxford, CT they have a pretty interesting dam that I discovered on one of my random drives. It was so shocking to find this pop out of no where I ended up gasping aloud and slamming on the breaks enough to properly piss off whoever was behind me. Oh well.
Here are some of the out-takes that were nice, but I just didn't think they compared to the final image.
Out-takes:
#1-
#1-
Why it didn't work: The light was pretty, but the composition just wasn't cutting it for me. Too many distracting silhouettes.
#2-
Why it didn't work: This was my second favorite after the final image. They were working on the highway late at night and left these huge lights on. I just don't know if I care for the huge amount of negative space on the right.
#3-
Why it didn't work: I didn't leave it running as long, the light trails were weak, and the heavy fence really bothers me. It seems a little more put-together in B&W though.
And what would a night be in without a planking picture? Note to self: when dragging friends along for night landscapes, planking will ultimately be majority of what time is spent on.
Confused? Watch below. You're welcome.
