I'm back for #78

Hi guys. I haven't been around much lately.
I got a few ideas for this one, so I though I'd start a thread.

I took this today. I'm not real sure if it's truly a silhouette, but I liked how it came out.

It's early. :D

but real silhouettes?? :dunno not to me

I agree that it may not be a true silhouette, but I also agree that its a very nice picture!

[davev]

Thanks guys.

That's kind of what I thought. But like I say, it's early on.:D

Ok, a few of us went out for an evening shoot tonight. Swartzy, Grimace,
Myself, and 5 others.

We did the skyline of Minneapolis shots.
I did get myself into a position to get this shot.
No Swartzy, you can't enter yours. :D

I should have spent more time and effort lining up this shot, but you know how
photographers are, they're like little kids, "Are you done yet, are you done yet? :wink

Oh well, next time it will be better.

I really like the skyline shot. It makes me smile! It also makes me wonder how you kept the photographers away from their cameras long enough to take it given the beautiful sunset. I can see that straightening it would probably mean losing too much of the right hand tripod setup. Maybe just go ahead and crop it out along with some of the black at the bottom? Whatever, it is a really good idea for the challenge.

That's a nice compliment to Swartzy's! :D

[nalvarez]

I like the 2nd shot as well, although I'm kinda left wanting to see more of the tripod legs. Great shot!

[davev]

Thanks folks.

If I didn't have that darn railing in there, I think this would have been OK.

It sounds like we're meeting up again Tuesday evening for another go at the skyline,
maybe I can do a little bit better this time around.

[davev]

My latest shot.
I have this one entered.

Ya know, you're not the first one to say that.

Thanks for looking.

Says you're a pipefitter. Get to unfitting some pipes!:wink

Sure, then I can change it to "Inmate of Hennepin County":huh
I think the railing is staying put.:D

I like it! Nice shot. -Kate
