I really like that last one. Wish they were centered on the left side to give a general feel of what they're staring off towards.
Thanks, that's a good suggestion. I cropped it quite a bit. I'll go back to the original and re-crop on the other side and see what it looks like. Thanks! For some reason, I've been inspired by horses lately. I've been back out there looking for those 2 guys, but I haven't seen them lately. I found a herd of donkeys though.....they're not as sleek, but they seemed to have a lot of character.

Nice work. Is that a badger? Where did you see that dude? The elk..he looks like he came from around Grand Lake, eh? I'm partial to these 2.
The elk is about 5 miles north of Grand Lake. The badger was on the other side of the park in Beaver Meadows. I have family with a place in Estes Park, so am there once or twice a year. Summited Long's a few years back... not that it's a huge accomplishment... though I probably couldn't do now (have gotten way out of shape).
i rather liked the texture and emptiness of the concrete. If he could have dulled the lights and captured more of the fog effect I think that could have made a dramatic pic with the buildings just being a background....I do think thegary's improves on the original if the skyline is to be the focus, but I think there's another pic in there too. Good conversation guys. I may want to go back to taking shots for effect rather then just shooting the kiddies. (perhaps I should rephrase???).
I concur... the first one is the best. Just something about the haze, etc that draws you in. the others are good, too, though.
I'm not a photo expert, and the picture you quote certainly had some exposure issues, but with regards to the light trails in yours, wouldn't that be a function principally of a slower shutter speed? I guess you're saying to do that, in the event that your camera has a mode whereby you stopped down your aperature, and the camera automatically slowed your shutter speed to compensate and properly expose the picture. still, i've always thought of light trails as a shutter speed function first, whereby i can either manually work with aperature to properly expose (especially if trying to get the exact combination of depth of field and light trails that I want), or let the camera choose the appropriate f-stop.
my mistake was using night mode on the camera when i should have used manual as you mentioned. and yes, light trails are a function of shutter speed. if i stopped to think to put in manual mode, increased my shutter speed, that light trail would have gone all the way across the bridge. Casey H, i'm not sure why you mentioned bokeh since it's a landscape shot I'd want everything in focus.
no....if you see his picture had the lights as perfect bokeh balls which is a function of a wide open aperture. I suggested to stop it down and then develop sunstars because the lens on P&S are not very good. I thought that was clear.
