Challenge:After Dark (Classic Editing) Collection:Portfolio Camera:Olympus D-490Z Location: Santa Rosa, California, USA Date: Jan 11, 2004 Aperture: 8.3 ISO: 100 Shutter: 1/800 Date Uploaded: Jan 11, 2004
A play on the movie title "They Drive By Night," which I thought apropos since I took this while driving back from my grandfather's former house in Cloverdale.
Tone curve for contrast, cropped and rotated, sharpened a lot to try and compensate for the motion blur, glass blur, and probably camera shake as well.

Just a little blurry and if the birds were what you were going for, I think I would have tried to zoom in more on them to make them more of a dominate feature than what they are here. The sky is very nice. You might also try to crop out the trees along the bottom as ther is not enough of them to be an important part but just enough to be a distraction. Hope this helps.
Love the sky. Really beautiful. The birds and the pole seem to be a bit soft on the focus though. that would be my only suggestion would be that I wish they were a bit more crisp. Otherwise, a really pretty shot. I like how you put the pole to one side, and not directly in the middle of the shot. Definately makes a difference on how this looks. nice find. ~Heather~
