Hello Everyone! Some nice shots so far, interesting subject.
Here's my first entry, titled "Downtown Silhouette"
Taken literally a few seconds before sunrise last week. Camera is a Pentax Optio I-10, 8.5mm (equ. 47mm) f/4.6, 1/50s, ISO 100.
I was out at my favorite "sunrise" location west of downtown Denver with the DSLR, tripod and gear. I decided to try a couple of shots with the Optio, just resting it on a fence post at 1/50s.

I can't recall if I have posted this in a competition thread. I know I posted it in the XZ thread. Wish I had something new but old, it is. XZ-1

Thens theres this, shot just before sunrise but with clouds reflecting whats to come:

Nothing else yet.

I see things are starting to finally pick up!

Bart, I really like your last 2 photos.

rbefly, great cityscape Silhouette.

kyteflyer, I like the colours in the 1st pic! The question is, where's the 3rd one?

Thanks G.T and Nuff!

Great skyline, Ron.
I especially like the Dawn, Sue.

**rbefly** · 12-10-2012, 02:10 PM

Thanks Sue, Bart + Nuff, I appreciate it!
Sue, your photos are great, my favorite is the sunrise, those colors!
Bart, very nice work, I like the B + W bridge shot best.
This month's subject is definitely a challenge!

Quick & dirty, I hope I'll have something any better than this...

Bart · 12-11-2012, 11:48 AM

Thank you, Ron!

Sue, another hit.

Love the mood here, G.T!

You are too fast, Bart. I was about to delete it. It was too noisy, too crappy even for a guy like me.

Bart · 12-11-2012, 12:01 PM

That is your prerogative of course, G.T but I really like the image.

Personally, I have nothing against grain/noise and it does convey a feel of night and thus darkness.

I shot a roll of 120 last night on the campus of the college where I work using my Kodak Tourist. I'm going to soup it later this week and see what I got.
