Movie night by orangecrush

Movie night

Holly crap this SOOC thing is hard! Today I found a great subject! It was an old steel bridge covered with growth from vines and bushes and the concrete pillars were covered with graffiti! It was delicious! Why am I posting this and not the bridge you may ask, I just couldn't get the shot! I tried monochrome, sepia, tilt, on the ground, I even jacked up the ISO to give it tons of noise...nothin'!
The sky was blown out, the graffiti seemed lifeless, Ugh! Ok, I'm done with that! It felt good to get that off my chest!
This is a shot from the fire I built tonight for movie night with the girls. We roasted marshmallows and popped popcorn, fun! Then came the movie... I live in a house full of girls my dog is a girl my two cats are girls, even the hamster is a girl! So, when it comes to a vote on which movie to watch, Thor is right out the door! 7 min into "Judy Moody" my eyes glazed over and the next thing I know, I'm here on 365! :D The life of a sacrificial Dad!

A naked fire...SOOC!
I can't wait to watch Thor!! Sounds like a fun evening with your girls :)!!! This looks VERY kewl!! Your SOOC shots are great! I think you worry to much, lol.

Sounds like a good night for the girls! We have family night on a Friday, yesterday was playing cards other times it's the wii or we have yet to play monopoly which lasts for hours but William loves it! Maybe you can go back to the amazing bridge when your back up and running, but in the meantime I love you fire shot, I can't wait to start having fires when it gets a little bit colder:)
October 22nd, 2011  
I hope you saved up some shots of the bridge to play with later. This is a pretty neat fire though. I like how there is almost a face in it.
October 22nd, 2011  
Well, SOOC is harder because you have to choose your shot well. I find myself taking longer to decide what to post and being so critical of every little thing. Love your fire--I'm a pyro at heart! Sorry about Judy Moody! Hope you get to see THOR soon! :-)

@kdimagery We had fun! Thanks for the kind words, Kd! :)
@melaniesavage I love Monopoly too but nobody wants to play it either! :D
@swilde I thought I saw a face too! I saved all the bridge shots for sure! ;)
October 22nd, 2011  
@lorihiro Thank you, Lori! The movie was fun once I accepted! :P
October 22nd, 2011  
Totally love this! Beautiful!
Jerry! What does SOOC stand for???
Wow, your campfire movie night is like a movie itself!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 22nd, 2011  
@f365 Thank you, Angelina! ;) It stands for straight out of camera...I think!
October 22nd, 2011  
This is "hot"! (what a good Dad you are, and fun too)
October 22nd, 2011  
@mimigd Thanks, Mimi! ;D
October 22nd, 2011  
love it :)
October 22nd, 2011  
Beautiful flames ... my son is the only boy out of 4 kids so I am getting a view of what his life will be in 10 years!
October 22nd, 2011  
You sound like my husband in our house of girls :-) great close up shot though and I look forward to you revisiting that bridge
October 22nd, 2011  
Wonderful and warm.
October 22nd, 2011  
Love the story and the photo!
October 22nd, 2011  
it's a very nice fire - and sorry about the bridge
October 22nd, 2011  
I love this fire shot! It's really beautiful and makes me feel all warm. It's a fav for me because I like it so much and to show you that SOOC images can be wonderful, too!
October 22nd, 2011  
lovely shot. I feel your pain.. i live in a house of boys..husband, 2 sons and a boy cat.. i regularly have to watch superhero and action films...nobody wants a chick flick in my house!..x
October 22nd, 2011  
cool fire place
October 22nd, 2011  
Beautiful fire shot!
October 22nd, 2011  
i saw a face in this in the thumbnail too! beautiful, warm shot
October 22nd, 2011  
Definitely a face in there! Looks like a dementor shot straight out of Harry Potter. Thought you'd done a halloween shot a first glance, so if this is SOOC....even scarier. Always something magical about a real fire though. Glad you had a great night with all your girls. Hope the 'chick flick' was good in the end.
October 22nd, 2011  
Great SOOC!!
Hope you get to watch Thor soon, I saw it a few weeks ago and wasn't that impressed. Captain America was a lot better :))
October 22nd, 2011  
Fabulous sooc shot, awesome in fact:)
October 22nd, 2011  
Fabulous dancing flames. Sounds like a great night.
October 22nd, 2011  
Terrific image.
October 22nd, 2011  
'Judy Moody' - ha, so funny! Bless you.... Well this shot is so great! I think you've got this whole SOOC thing down pretty good!!
October 22nd, 2011  
This makes me feel all cosy and warm. Great shot.
October 22nd, 2011  
good effort jerry
October 22nd, 2011  
Lively fire shot
October 22nd, 2011  
Great shot, love the colour of flames. Can't believe you didn't stick with "Judy Moody"!!
October 22nd, 2011  
Awesome fire shot
October 22nd, 2011  
You poor guy! And most of your followers are female! ;-)
October 22nd, 2011  
This is a beautiful fire picture. Your story about your girls, roasting marshmallows and watching Judy Moody is priceless!
October 22nd, 2011  
Fav! This is really lovely and perfectly depicts your warm and cozy night spent in with the girls - even if you did end up on 365:) I ended up doing the same thing last night when my husband put on one those stupid "Lock-Up" shows where they document lives of American prisoners in for life sentences. He loves em, I can't stand them:)
October 22nd, 2011  
Cool.
October 22nd, 2011  
Nicely captured since fire shots are tough. Great background story!
October 22nd, 2011  
love it! i am actually really enjoying the SOOC thing and am going to keep one of my albums just that_ for me the editing is such a fun part of the process< but leaving the shot as is has its own appeal- thanks Jerry for the challenge:)))
October 22nd, 2011  
I love fire shots, this is fantastic!
October 22nd, 2011  
Great fire shot! Very beautiful!!
October 22nd, 2011  
Great shot, I haven't tried fire yet but this one is excellent :)
October 22nd, 2011  
nice one Jerry, fire shot are pretty difficult - I've tried a couple this project. I'm fully naked with you today! Like a numpty I forgot to change my settings not making my job any easier and limiting my shot selection!
October 22nd, 2011  
Wow, I find fire a little hard to photograph but this is amazing :)
October 22nd, 2011  
Nice fire. Great shot. My son-in-law complains about the same thing all
girls, and he would do the same thing you did after about 5 min. get the
computer.
October 22nd, 2011  
Wow what a shot!
October 22nd, 2011  
very nice!
October 22nd, 2011  
This is amazing!!! Nice work!
October 22nd, 2011  
Hot shot Jerry!
October 22nd, 2011  
Wow Jerry such a great fire photo. Those flames are so mellow and dancing. Love it!!
October 23rd, 2011  
beautiful shot Jerry :)
October 23rd, 2011  
That bridge sounds amazing. Don't give up on it. This shot is really good too
October 23rd, 2011  
Love this! It's beautiful. Mind if I blow it up to poster size and stick it on the wall in my new house that is MINUS a fireplace? I just need a little something to hang Christmas stockings over. haha Kidding. Only a couple more days then you can EDIT! (not that you need to) Love your story tonight...sounds like you're drowning in an estrogen ocean. :)
October 23rd, 2011  
Hot! Hot! Hot! .. *come on everybody sing along with me.. * alright.. with Buster Pointdexter.. and a little salsa caribbean style... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSNal615kgg&feature=related
I know, I know.. save it.. the guys in the white jackets are here for me now...
Great shot showoff!!!
October 23rd, 2011  
Well this is gorgeous, you can't beat that. You can save your other bridge shots for next week when no doubt you'll make them dance with life.
October 23rd, 2011  
And you tried so hard…this fire looks great,
October 23rd, 2011  
Great shot of the fire - I can feel the heat from here!
October 23rd, 2011  
There is nothing I love as much as a fire!!! This is awesome, and so alive with the flames licking that log. I fell back to my usual small edits tonight, but now you've put me to shame. Back to the naked theme!
October 23rd, 2011  
Awesome sooc shot! Sounds like a fun night, but hey, I'm a girl! Such a great Dad for making the sacrifice to watch "Judy Moody!"
October 23rd, 2011  
@hettie Thank you, Hettie!
@zferrie He has my sympathy! ;) I'm just kidding! There is something i love about being the only male...most of the time!
@juliehill Lol! So I'm not alone! Thanks, Julie!
@claireworx Thank you, Clarissa!
@ronah Thank you, Rona!
@shanne Thanks, Shanne! You'll see it once I'm finished with this challenge! :)
@jannaellen Thank you so much, Janna!
October 23rd, 2011  
i don't think i could do a whole week of sooc! good job jerry! btw, you sound like such a cool and great dad!
October 23rd, 2011  
i dont quite know how i didnt see this shot when you posted it cause the detail in it is fantastic, the whole thing just looks amazing. why do you think sooc is shit? most of my pics are sooc & to be fair i think they look better sometimes than when ive ruined them by pressing too many buttons changing stuff. your shots are amazing & you should stop giving yourself such a hard time. oh & if it makes you feel any better im the only girl in my family, i have 6 brothers & a fella & a son, so im usually watching fast & furious or spiderman lol
October 23rd, 2011  
wow! this is beyond stunning!
October 23rd, 2011  
Fantastic fire shot! Mine don't look this good even after processing!
October 23rd, 2011  
Cool "hot shot." Love it. Sounds like a cozy evening. Actually I love sooc shots the best.
October 23rd, 2011  
Ohh, it's so wonderful, I can literally feel the warmth!
October 23rd, 2011  
Great capture, love the flame detail
