I like how the light fills up the darkness...nice color. Ditch the border...or make it even and use it to title your photo.

Repay the comment on one of my dev's. Visit my deviant page

I dunno know why but this really reminds me of the 50's.
And I really like the street lights... but I don't like the white boarder.

*scrolling scrolling scrolling* phew! Lots of comments to jump over... I like the angle of the photo and the one bright light from the street lamp. It reminds me of late nights/early mornings walking through empty streets, lonely. I can imagine seeing my breath as the only moving thing around.

Good work!

Thank you. I love walking around late at night with noone around. In fact, it's ten past three am right now, and after I'm done here, I'm going for a walk. Anyway. yes, too many comments on this one. I'm thankful for them all, but I never expected it. I didn't really want to submit this one. I thought it looked too "chic" or "trendy." So in order not to be labeled trendy I titled the piece as such. Every day I get more comments on this piece and sometimes I get none on my new works. This DA is a crazy place. But anyway, thanks for your comment.

Good angle, good atmosphere, good colour scheme. I could do without the white letterboxing on the top and bottom though. Hey, I'm from Vancouver too. :-]

great pic btw

mattday In reply to mr-poo [2004-01-09 08:38:20 +0000 UTC]

It's a good starter digital camera. You can't change the lens, and the fstop is biggest 2.8-3.5, but I really can't complain. It's an awesome camera. Small, all manual or auto, very decent. I'm guessing the 7 hi will be even better.

I haven't looked too much into it, but cannon has a new Rebel Digital. It's an actual SLR for under two grand. You might want to look into that first.

True, the digital rebel doesn't have a high frame rate.

ExtremeWays [2004-01-06 21:48:51 +0000 UTC]

The angle of the shot, just the right amount of lighting (Yeah, so you didn't exactly make the streetlights), it sort of sleepy/lonely. Great job,

fortun [2004-01-06 04:03:43 +0000 UTC]

...somewhat bleak and foreboding...the flare seems a critial piece to the composition too which is pretty cool...i like this one a lot...

...but i think perhaps what little color exists is more distracting than anything...

...have you tried desaturating it to see what it looks like in straigtht B&W?

mattday In reply to fortun [2004-01-06 11:33:00 +0000 UTC]

No, I didn't check it out in B&W. I was Happy with the colours. But thanks for the suggestion. And thanks for the comment.

Alexzandra In reply to mattday [2004-01-01 20:27:54 +0000 UTC]

a photo like that deserves the time to be looked at, and some power from it puts that echantment in the sadness. I don't think you can get as much from this in a short glance asyou can from a longer meandering thought.

gearshift [2003-12-31 12:13:16 +0000 UTC]

The lighting is great, makes for a strange atmosphere. The lights themselves are awesome, the "stars" are really crisp, as the rest of the pic. The only thing that's a bit off is the white car at the end of the street, its like "look at me, im white and fucking up everything!" Well its not fucking up everything, the pic is still great, makes me want to buy a digital camera. *wishes money could grow on trees*

btw, the angle is good, adds a lot to the pic.

The colors and tones are very cool. This reminds me of the road outside my house at 3AM when everyone's deep asleep and I'm still awake. It's lonely.

katastrophes [2003-12-29 19:20:37 +0000 UTC]

The starry outcome of the streetlights are fantastic - they really add that extra something to the picture, which, by the way, I like in itself. There's something about an empty street late at night...so peaceful with a touch of the eerie.

Someone comented before on the borders being wrong, and I'm inclined to agree, but if it's part of a series, then who am I to judge what's more suitable? I'm off to your gallery to have a look at the rest.
