"Night" - (STM)'s Choice

"Night" Can be night sky, stars, low light, long exposure, night life..... Lots of scenarios for "NIGHT." Let's see how creative you can be! Color, B&W, HDR...anything goes!

DO NOT SHOOT OR POST IMAGES UNTIL WEDNESDAY Dec. 25
This early announcement of the topic is to give a little think time, before the challenge begins. Photos must be taken and submitted between 00:00 UTC of the start date and 23:59 UTC of the end date.





The Rules

1. Photos must be captured with a Nikon and appear in the thread with EXIF info in order to be considered for the challenge. If the forum EXIF viewer does not show for any reason, listing the camera and capture date/time below the photo is acceptable. Listing exposure info, lens & focal length is encouraged so others can learn.

2. Any photo submitted for a weekly challenge must be taken during the dates specified in the challenge thread.

3. Only one photo entry per member for each week, unless otherwise noted.

4. All regularly active members of Nikonites are allowed to participate, including moderators and administrators.

Voting

During the submission & like periods, please click the Thanks/Like button to vote for your favorite images. You can vote for as many as you want! At the end of the week, you will have the opportunity to vote again for the top 3 photos for this challenge!

There will be no cash or prizes awarded for the Weekly Photo Challenges, unless specifically noted by the site administrator.

Any photo will be accepted for the challenge. Edited or straight out of the camera, it does not matter. You are left with complete freedom to do whatever genre of photography you wish to do, and your own interpretation of the challenge subject.

Lower Manhattan, Christmas morning. The view from my radio studio.

EDIT: I don't know why my EXIF data often doesn't show up when I do any PS merging, like for panoramas or focus stacks. This is three shots merged with the "Mean" Smart Object option in Photoshop to reduce high ISO noise.

I'll post one of the three OOC shots below, hopefully the EXIF data will be included in it. Obviously, this one is not my entry:

Probably it doesn't show the exif data because it is three photos merged and doesn't know which exif data to display. That's my guess. Ha!

HAHA! Lol, yeah, that blazingly obvious point occurred to me as well. The trouble is, and why it vexes me so much: sometimes the EXIF data does show up in a multi-shot composition! I can't figure out what the variable is that causes some to disappear.

Oh well, thanks for the subtle derision :playful:
