Congratulations to sublime1365, last month's winner!

This month's theme will be: LX After Dark
Submission Deadline: Monday, August 25th

We're looking for shots of your car at night. Get under the moonlight or the streetlight, and find the interesting shot.

Here's the rules, folks:

1) One entry per member, per contest.
2) Member must take photo.
3) Member's LX must be in the photo.
4) Photograph must be taken for this contest - no previous shots allowed.
5) Photoshopping is not allowed except for modifying the license plate, brightness and contrast, and crop/resize.
6) Maximum size - 800 x 600. Oversize photos will not be allowed. Resizing available if needed.
7) The winner will be responsible for deciding upon the theme of the following month's contest, and is not eligible to participate in that contest.

Submissions should be posted to THIS thread, any time through Monday, August 25th. Submissions posted elsewhere will not be counted.

Voting will begin on a separate thread as soon as the submission deadline passes.

So get out your camera, and go play in the inky shadows! Let's see what you can come up with.

Crap. Black doesn't photograph very well at night, but I have a plan.

I'm just saying black isn't the ideal situation if you want the car to be the subject of the photo. I'll be interested to see what you pull off.

I might just have to use the studio lighting and the huge soft boxes out doors. Must find generator.

Haha, keep that shutter open and pop those strobes 3-4 times in various areas and you'll be good. Hot-shoe flash with a diffuser works good for painting with light also

the one time I am glad I have silver

to bad it has black wheels. I have submitted dusk shots for dang near every contest yet and now I gotta go take more

lol.
