Challenge:Night Shot (Classic Editing) Camera:Canon PowerShot G2 Location: Bus stop in Edmonton Date: Mar 24, 2002 Aperture: 3.2 ISO: 50, I think Shutter: 1/2 second Date Uploaded: Mar 24, 2002
All right. I just got my camera last month, but I've been reading up on everything I can find to catch up. I took this shot last night. I did not use a flash, but I did take advantage of that god-awful, dim, yellow streetlamp lighting. Once I had a shot I liked, I resized down to 640x480, and auto-adjusted the colors in ACDSee (with no real clue of what I'm doing). I despeckled once. And here we are: the final product.

you know what? was going back through here and i think this is an amazing shot. the detail in the textures, the lighting,, and the colors are really come together for me.
Good shot, strong composition. Good job on getting the low angle shot! The color is decent and like the lighting it is strange and unnatural, which adds to the photo. The only thing I can think of to improve is the focus, experiment with using the manual focus, set it at infinity and see what happens. You might also experiment with getting a leading line, through the picture.
