It’s over a year since we last did ‘low light’, and there were some wonderful posts then, so I’m looking forward to see what you all come up with this year!

Cracker Theme 😉 , Nice one Tersha Thanks.
That’s a great photo.
Thanks, Andre!
Such a great choice of exposure here! Dark but definitely not too dark.
Fascinating image. I can imagine a timelapse from dawn till dusk…
I love this. I can’t understand why all the chairs are empty. I would chose a front row seat and enjoy every last ray of that sunset.
Thanks to all for your comments. The chairs were empty because a thunderstorm had just passed by. Only a few people were out, but the sunset was spectacular!
On the bay with Venus in the background…
great!
Impressive !
Wow!
Wonderful!
Amazing one! Great job 🙂

I may have posted this before.
Great colours, Rob. And if it is a repeat, I am glad, as I had not seen it.
This dramatic cloud formation is part of tropical storm Barry’s outer bands. It shielded our eyes from the setting sun as we were driving west. I had my husband pull over so I could jump out and take pictures with my phone.
<script async src=”//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js” charset=”utf-8″></script>Seen and admired on Flickr, Leesa! That is quite the column of cloud. And great that it was working in your favour.
Fantastic light show from nature and Leesa!
Good clouds!
Thank you, LeanneC, Holly K, and Erik Fransman.

This one ;).
peek a boo
I enjoy looking at clouds and finding hidden images within. I see a little redhead with pug nose and cherub lips looking toward the light.
42 image panorama. Best viewed large
Beautiful!!!
Well done David.
Very nice, David!
Wow, that’s a lot of shots…
Fireworks from the 4th…
Never done one that large! (42 images) I keep finding different things in it – what a puzzle it would make!
Stunning panorama!
Brisbane
Very nice, David, taken from the South Bank, which bridge? My wife and I will be there in 14 days time, for six nights. Have only ever had two nights in Brisbane before we headed up to Noosaville (or was it Cairns that time?). We loved the architecture, mix of old and new. Had a great walk down the South Bank, climbers on the banks, next to the pathway with lights, crampons and pitons, families, couples, strolling. Got a ferry back. Keen to experience more!
Keen to know which settings to use? Guess, I would need to take a tripod, a monopod would probably not cut it?
Thanks Jim. This is the Story Bridge taken from Wilson’s Lookout, looking back towards the CBD.
This was a 2 second exposure @ f;4.5. A tripod would definitely be preferable. I can loan you one for your visit if you like. I have a few…
Southbank is a lovely area.
If you have time and would like to catch up over a coffee (or other beverage) let me know.
Hosier Lane, Melbourne.
That is an amazing shot David. Good choice of venue, with all the graffiti.
Thanks Leanne!
I’m always in awe of your images – this one no exception.
Thanks you Pat.
Visit to Orakei Korako
Very mysterious, Mistyisle. And I learned something new, as I had never heard of this geothermal park. Looks like an interesting place to visit.
Thanks Leanne, you do realise that this park is in New Zealand? Of all the great places to visit here, this is probably the one most missed, probably because it is a bit off the beaten track for those on a tight time schedule. However it is very unique, interesting and has marvellous boardwalks to go all the way around – takes a good 1 1/2 hours and lots of photographic opportunities. My family and I love it! It is quite magical.
I didn’t know it was in NZ until I looked it up. Lots of hidden treasures there. Definitely on my bucket list!
This is an updated version of a pic I posted in the Mobile Monday forum a week ago. I don’t have too many low light shots in my files but this one, taken with my mobile, is my favourite at the moment. (In this forum I can use a little PS editing too 🙂 )
Very interesting and beautiful photo.
But I see a red lamp at the end of the bridge or the path. When we get there, do we have to turn around? 😉Thanks Andre. Ocean lies beyond the jetty and about 14 kms away is Kangaroo Island. The light is a shipping beacon for the ferries which travel to and from the island. They enter a small harbour via the right side of the jetty. I originally made the whole pic B&W but thought I would have some spot colour in this re-edited version.
Mysterious
I don’t have any recent low light shots so I pulled this one out from February. This is one of the first long exposure shots (8 seconds) I took with my new camera. I was struck by the reflections on Okanagan Lake, made by the billboards from the highway.
Lovely tranquil feel about it, Leanne.
Ballet in Motion
Dancing in the rain.
Nice colours and mystery, Charmaine. Very subtle spotlight.
The second one, very Edgar Degas, so very nice.
Charmaine, your second pic strikes me as a Impressionist, Degas certainly or Monet. It’s very nice .
thank you
Wonderful!
Both images capture the grace of balletic motion.
under the pier just after sunset.
Wow, Beth, it is amazing how similar these piers can be. I have one taken on the Seabird Coast, here in New Zealand. However, the pier is much broader – plus my image is not nearly as good as yours!
Agreed sure is lovely work.
Nice pallet Beth.
Very nice, Frank.
Wonderful ambiance
Absolutely love your composition here Frank. You took your time setting this up and it paid off. 👏🏼
Ditto to all the above

So many beautiful images in this challenge. Diane sure picked a great theme this week. Well done everybody.
Low light, low heat
The mundane and utilitarian becomes art. Like it a lot.
Many thanks, Pat!

Beautiful blue! Erik, what s the strange ‘figure’ in the background?
It’s the sculpture “Nomade” Catalan artist Jaume Plensa. (see link)
I was about to ask the same question. Interesting. Thanks for info.
Thanks Erik, interesting read!
It should be #443 , no ?
It should be #443 yes! 🙂
from a while back …
Gorgeous Shot , nice work 😉
Just a touch of soft light – extremely effective.
Enoma: Lovely setting, the lighting is great and the post processing art effect is awesome. Just enough and not too much. What did you use?

Bad Kitty!
The center of attention!
LOL Kent, more like Typical Kitty! We currently have two furry felines and 9 out of 10 days when i get up i find evidence of kitties having wandered where they know better. This was great and made me smile.
As always, great. Dorothy, is it “Typical Kitty!” or “Typical Kent? 🙂
LOL! Both!
Nightfall on the waterfront – waiting for morning.
Well captured , real nice image.
Thank you very much, P71
Lovely scene, lovely colours Pat!
I toured a couple of distilleries recently. This was taken at Buffalo Trace in Frankfort, KY. There was not much lighting in their warehouses. If I remember correctly, these barrels hold what will one day be Pappy Van Winkle.
<script async src=”//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js” charset=”utf-8″></script>firework and smoke…
One of my favorites from last year.
That is beautiful!
Love the mountains, love the picture.
Great shot Robert, love the intense blue on the mountains.
To be fair – I was left along in a dark room with some holographic vinyl and a torch…
Voila! My newest light painting tool was born. 🙂
No words for this fluid image
Thank you so much Pat.
Wow! I so love this. True artwork.
Thank you Kent.
I am thinking of toning down the hot-spots and printing it on metallic paper!
Definitely!
Very, very impressive!
Thanks Erik!
Lost Toy
Very interesting Seth!
Is It hiding behind that bench ?
polar bear at the zoo and polar bear with fish. from room below ground, definitely low light and no flash. not nearly as breathtaking and beautiful as all the posts here but it was fun trying to capture this guy. this was from last weekend and it was HOT so i think he was enjoying the water.
Very unusual viewpoint Dorothy, love them!
Great shot. How interesting to look into the polar bear’s eyes!
