Night Shot with Minox 35GT

[Brian Moore]

Weekdays I usually walk Sadie at night time. There is a house we pass on our route that has a lovely red door. I decided one night to get a shot with the Minox. (Usually I have the Oly XA or XA3 with me on my walks, but I had been testing the Minox and so that's what I had on me.)

To steady the wee thing I used the pavementpod ("kerbpod" in America).

Unfortunately the lovely red door got blown out somewhat by the porch light, but I was happy with the long exposure performance of the Minox.

I like the door, but that light on the right really makes the composition for me.

Its rather a bonnie starburst effect, ain't it Rob? Thanks, by the way.

 

[Hamish Gill]

I agree completely!
Pavement pod eh? Like it!

 

[Brian Moore]

Thanks, Hamish!

That is a super shot Brian. Love the angle and the slightly desolate air it gives. If it wasn't for the happy face on the house, it could be quite menacing!

"happy face on the house"...?

Pete,...your vision is rightly celebrated for clarity, perspective and indeed, perception. But what the hell are you talking about? [ner]

Sorry, I forgot. The ability to see human faces in random patterns is hard-wired into human brains. It won't work with aliens no matter how good the deception!

Upstairs windows as eyes (slightly crossed eyed ones at that) and the downstairs one as the mouth!

Well,...I had the feeling that's what you meant but you never mentioned the bullet hole to the temple, so I assumed I had it wrong.

The owner clearly works for Google, that the camera!
