Smart!  I know the possession of one of these doesn't mean the gun-boats will swing into action at the slightest hint of provocation but as one of the most coveted items in the whole world, it...

Thanks for looking Paul

Morning all, And thank you to everyone for making this challenge such a pleasure to host ........ & difficult to judge. Time does not allow me to list a number of shots I would like to classify as...

Hi Sparkle1103, 3 good photos. I can't help thinking that #1 would move from a good shot to a great one if the bushes wen't in the shot.  The shoe sets it off!. The church spire is simply...

Ok, time's up. Well done to all entrants & those who commented. I'll post the results as soon as possible.Paul

One hour to go; any last minute entries?

Hi Ixpand, Your first shot, of the little girl watching the televisions made me smile.  It reminded me of an old TV program in UK called Only Fools & Horses where one of the characters (Grandad)...

Morning (well it is here in UK) all, Just to remind any potential entrants that we finish at 22.00 British Summer Time today, which is 13 & a 1/2 hours from now. Paul

Hi Howard, Not sure about #2, but that's probably me Number 1 however I think is great.  Instead of the usual type of picture of streets at night, where  we see trails of singular car lights, your...

Hi Hutchman, I have seen it before & it certainly does Paul

Hi HobbiesAreFun, I like all 3: - the simplicity of the street scene in #3 (it gives me the impression they are trying very hard to light the lantern in somewhat inclement weather) -the myriad of...

I'm up for it Paul

A pretty steady hand for a 1 second exposure; & an unusual colour, me-thinks. Thanks Paul

Hi Bberg, 3 wonderful entries: I always think that city-scapes should be viewed on as big a screen as possible to allow the viewer to immerse themselves in the intricacies of the expanse (too...

You know, I don't think I've ever tried night shots in B/W. Seeing these, I can see what I've been missingThanks for enteringPaul

Hi Sactojim, I like all three but especially the first one; I think because it's a nice & simple street shot in the dark Thanks   Paul PS ........ makes me kinda hungry for some oriental nosh!

Thanks for the explanation, Elliot.  I was guessing it was some form of enhanced digital zoom but the detail from that distance is fantastic. Paul

Hi Bob, Not being any sort of a botanist I've no idea what the tree is but I think it's a very good example of an unusually lit tree at night. Thanks Paul

Hello again Elliot, I'm afraid I don't understand the "clear image zoom". The second shot is very detailed & I like it as an example of a neon sign in the dark.  I think the lamp (if that's what it...

Yes, a very nice picture, especially when you consider this camera was from early 2002.  It captured the light well for a small sensor & your "tripod" did good job holding it steady for a full 2...
