Night Scene

On our 2 night caravan choice and we can’t believe what photography can challenge me with..
A historic property: The planting of the property began in 1878 and this was named for the wife in that era who began her life in Yorkshire,England!
We relished the peacefuless of this Park where other people camped. Nobody screamed, nobody had arguments , the trees grew forever and the sheep moved late in the evening..
Three good things’
1. I went for a walk around here and got very tired and was grateful to sink into our caravan couch.
2. A really old Pub for lunch - imagine - sausages, 2 eggs and chips for NZ$12!
3. Turned off our TV (in the caravan) to listen to country music! Saw this scene outside our door late.

Is this the shower & loo department? Lovely green light, it sort of beckons you towards it, quite an alien look! Nothing better than sausage, egg & chips!

[Dinah Pinkston]

This scene has beautiful lighting and color! I enjoyed reading about it in your narrative.

[Maggiemae]

@happypat You are right! - the toilet beckons but we have our own toilet. Trouble is with that huge lunch, I felt so full for hours and hours!

[Ann Williams]

It seems to be floating on water. Great lighting and colours.

[Simply Amanda]

Great colors in the low light. I love the blue hour and blue and green are my favorite color combo!

[Maggiemae]

@alophoto It's not completely dark at this hour, Amanda. But it was nice and warm outside!

[Simply Amanda]

It's one of the most beautiful times of day.

[Bep]

Beautiful lighting.

[Lauren Anderson]

Beautiful colour you've captured!

[Dawn]

A lovely capture Maggiemae

[Allison Williams]

Looks a bit lonely.

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

I am surprised at what appears to be very little noise under such conditions.

[Debra]

Love the lighting and colors...you captured it well

[Julie Duncan]

Very evocative and creepy beyond words! :)

[Maggiemae]

@juliedduncan Thanks for the fav, Julie - I thought it evocative, not scary!

[Susan]

A compelling image, like the mood. Great colors too.

[Daisy Miller]

Lovely night shot.

[Tony]

Impressive capture and marvelous clarity for a night shot.

[Islandgirl]

Awesome on black!

[katy]

Nicely composied to get the light of the structure and still get the silhouettes of the trees in the background

[gloria jones]

Great light and cool on black and great narrative

[*lynn]

wonderful! great color and lighting

[Vera]

Very cool light!

[Harry J Benson]

nice lighting and colour

[Maggiemae]

@hjbenson You are very loyal, Harry - I look forward to your comments!

[Nadiya Bilovodenko]

wonderful composition! and as always, an amazing story!

[Margo Sayer]

I began my life in Yorkshire, England and as you know, now live in France. All things are possible! Pleased to know that you're happily and comfortably settled in your caravan. Continue to enjoy these 'refresher' days.

[Joyce]

Loved the story Maggie and the photograph looks so quiet and peaceful even if Pat does think it's loo!

[Maggiemae]

@s4sayer It is refreshing to do absolutely nothing - except eat, walk and read, Margo!

[Maggiemae]

@skipt07 The children are mostly good, Skip - unless they are all having water fights!

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

@maggiemae - You miss understood me. I meant grain from noise that you would expect from a high ISO under low light conditions. But I see you pulled this off with a low ISO of 80.

[Maggiemae]

@skipt07 I always forget to up the ISO on night shots.

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

@maggiemae - If you can get a photo with this kind of clarity in low light with a low ISO I wouldn't up it at all. Unless you want a grainy look.

[Lesley Chisholm]

Sounds like a lovely camping spot. I thought this looked like the toilet block!

[Maggiemae]

@kiwichick It is beautiful, Lesley and this is the toilet block. It doesn't look anywhere as nice as this during the day!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I like the colors and blue hour tones. I had a feeling it was the loo- but still it looks so quaint!

[tony gig]

Great night shot.

[Sandy]

Sounds like you have all the creature comforts in your caravan.

[Maggiemae]

@skstein Yes we do, Sandy - why we enjoy it the most! Heater, TV, oven, bathroom, double bed and all very compact!
