Flash of Red 2018-20

I was just too lazy to pull out the tripod to capture the neighbor's garage light in the mist the other night (well, it was pretty late and I should have been in bed!) but I really should have. Still, I don't mind the less than sharp outlines. It makes the mystery of the night a little more mysterious. I was trying to capture the syncopated rhythm of the tree trunks.

[Mickey Anderson]

Love the creepy feel!

[wendy frost]

I think the blur helps to make a great capture.

[Milanie]

Like the little bit of blue in the shot - adds atmosphere to that mist.

[Francoise]

I absolutely love this shot. fav

[Henri Russell]

I really like it this way.

[Rob Z]

I really like this - but I find it hard to pin down just what it is that resonates with me - the starkness against the mist? the multiple vertical lines? the blended tones in the background ( is that what you call them when they are in b&w? shades maybe?) the composition? I guess it's everything together!!

[Babs]

It is quite spooky.

[Lynda McG]

[Helen Jane]

never mind the tripod, this is really eye catching. The lines of the trees and the shape of the light drawing the eye into the unknown. love it.

@randystreat Thank you Kathy!

[Mandy]

I really like the nature of this. Had it been really sharp I wonder if it might not have worked so well. Provides real mystery.
