night light
April 9, 2014
This week's challenge is
night light; it was my choice. Check out my pals for their
interpretations on this theme:
Womtig,
Fishing Guy,
Katney,
Imac,
Lew, and
Christine Anne.
Though a regular night light could make for an interesting subject, I chose to go for a broader application of the term. These shots were all taken at night, with a variety light sources. The header was a long exposure from a hotel in Saint Louis. The scene was darker, but because of the longer exposure, the colors came out exaggerated.

Does the ceiling light count as a night light? Sure, why not! |
