JANUARY 2016 ..."Low Light/Nighttime Shots"

Use your imagination to come up with some exceptional photos. Sparkling lights, Light streams, Stars, Moon, Light painting... Slow shutter speeds for long exposures or however you decide to create that spectacular low light scene is only limited by your creativity.

WHATEVER it is, this is the month to try to capture "Low Light/Nighttime" in a photo, and share it with the rest of us!

There ya go, let's get shooting! CREATVITY/TECHNIQUE rules in this challenge, but there are a few guidelines:

1. Any photo submitted for a monthly assignment must be taken using a Nikon Camera!

2. All submissions must be taken during the month specified in the assignment thread and taken by YOU! (Please insure that EXIF is either posted with the photo or if it gets messed up, hold yourself to the honor system and add the minimum Exif data of the Camera used and the date the photo was taken to your post)

2. Obviously, for this challenge, your photo must portray "Low light/Nighttime" of some sort. Other than that, it's all up to your interpretation of the theme. Any photo will be accepted, SOOC or edited, doesn't matter.

3. Photos must be posted in this thread to be considered. Links to photos will not be considered an entry.

4. Only THREE entries per member for each assignment. Please post entries separately (1 photo per post) and number the entry.

5. Entries will be judged by the number of likes received.

6. The top 5 shots will be displayed in a separate thread, and will be displayed in no particular order.

7. This is intended to be a FUN challenge. No critiques unless specifically asked. Also, please limit posts to just photos and brief descriptions/titles. Any comments/discussion should occur elsewhere, PLEASE.

As listed in other challenges, please note: NO CASH OR PRIZES will be awarded for this Monthly Assignment.

HAVE FUN, can't wait to see the results!!

Entry #1

I can't believe how darkly lit this arena is. Ok, it's not really an arena, but a pole barn with minimal pole barn lighting that depends on daylight to come through the overhead panels to actually put light in there. So knowing this... they held motocross races... at night. You could not design a more poorly lit situation and on the edge of forget it, there's not enough light to work with. BUT, somehow the old Nikon pulled it off.
