I’m pleased to present yet another great set of photos – this one based on the theme of after dark illuminations. The theme seemed to capture your imaginations, so well done to the thirteen people who sent a photo in.
A warm welcome also to Carissa and Steve, who join us for the first time. We hope you have fun here
Update: Huge apologies to Ian, whose entry I accidentally forgot to include with the results. It’s now here.

Challenge Admin, I enjoy taking photos mostly of landscapes and architecture - but I will try anything! I mostly shoot film and I spend a lot of time in my darkroom trying to get the perfect print. I'm a sysadmin for a living and I also enjoy cycling and music technology.

Lovely set of photos!
Something about Kathy’s I particularly like. The colours I think.

Wow. These are amazing. I did take a photo but didn’t get round to emailing it (this is far too common). Now I’m glad I didn’t – it’s pathetic compared to these.

As much as I like night-time urban scenes, I think my favourite this week is Danielle’s, because it is a bit less urban. Where is that? Also fantastic work from Steve, and an interesting take by Thom.

Tony, Jonathan, Bertenand and Steve all tick my boxes for a good night photo (I do like to see a nice variety of light source colour temperatures!) but I think Steves photo just about has the edge this week. Wonderful sense of power and movement, and the placement of the car is perfect!
As usual, I have no adequate excuses for my failure to take part. I will get back to it at some point, I promise!

Kathy’s really worked for me. I think the first two would have really hit the spot if there had been just the last hint of blue in the sky.
Great work, all! I like Carissa’s ‘anti-theme’ too… well spotted.

Kathy’s and Steve’s (from another great bunch) for me this week. And yes, I know I missed the deadline again – I would like to repeat Paul’s final paragraph!

Wow! Amazing set of pictures. I especially like Jay’s – you could hang that on a wall!
Good to see some new participants too. Welcome!

Distinctly urban character. And Nigel Hurll is a lazyarse!

Quality entries again this week from everyone! There’s just something about the still capture of a moving vehicle’s lights that I really like! This is achieved by changing shutter speed, qui?

That’s right, Simmo. You also need a tripod to hold it steady. Does your camera allow manual shutter speed?
