[OM] Re: Playing with night photography and my new scanner...

[Andrew Fildes]

That's nice but you've left off the most important piece of  
information - the time of the exposure!
I assumed that the vignetting was deliberate - as with B&W work it  
adds something.
The composition is unusual but rather interesting as it doesn't allow  
the light source to overpower the image.
Somewhere I have a 'film days' book called Night Photography, an  
English paperback. I has a lot of snow shots and snow does seem to  
work particularly well for this sort of thing. Of course night  
digital work is a whole different thing.
