Shot in the Dark [Contest Archives November 2002]
Uploaded: November 16, 2002 23:33:33
We had a snowfall tonight so I opened the door, pointed the camera down towards the lamp, zoomed & took a shot. Slightly cropped & minimal contrast adjustment, otherwise as is. Took a liking to the shadows in the snow.lol

Hi Carol, our little camera performed real well for night time use! This shot makes me long for the first snowfall, I can actually feel the cold. You did well with exposure, not blowing out any bright areas and also giving detail in the shadowed areas, which are btw a nice graphic touch. #24140Carol Sherman May 26, 2019
Shelley, Shelley, Shelley...I thought of you after I took it.:-) Half the time I don't know what I'm doing but am determined...hope heart counts.lolShelley Sanders May 26, 2019
Of course heart counts, it serves as a motivator to pursue beauty in the world. #24143clifton Mair May 26, 2019
