Photo Comp - Chat Thread

BP: Damn, was looking forward to seeing the result.
Definitely agree on the not long or dark enough though, tried to get a milky way shot last night and after being stood in a church yard in darkest Wales at midnight (alone, I'm brave/stupid like that), I can indeed confirm it just isn't dark enough! Had hoped I'd get something at the darkest point of night but apparently not, looks like it'll only be good for August's new moon now.

I was then hoping to reenact something like this for this months shot but couldn't get a willing participant to help out.

A circle theme won the monthly competition on the Nikon side.

Those spinning wire wool, sparks, long exposure jobbies of Brett's are superb. Now if they can somehow be combined with the quadcopter...

Like this?

[Sir Trev]

Yes, but perhaps an overhead view from the 'copter so you see the sparks fly out in all directions across the floor. Trouble is that does mean flying at night...

simply attach glow sticks to it so you can see where it's location is

Or indoors in an (abandoned) warehouse perhaps?

Hah just caught up on this after a monstrous day at work. Thanks for the compliments guys. I'll be back with more soon, also planning an epic photographical all nighter in Wales late next month. Stay tuned, it could be cool. (Disclaimer: it's equally likely not to be though )

Anyway, quadcopter and steel wool... Unfortunately no quadcopter is stable enough for long exposures, my pictures only come out well when there is LOTS of sun as it is, murky days just don't cut it. No amount of money could compensate it either unfortunately.

But i have had a couple of ideas that I need to investigate thanks to the comments.

Congrats to Jambo BTW, first solo winner in a while

New theme is now up, thank you all for the votes, first time in a while I've managed to use any time to take some pictures!

Hopefully this month will be fairly inclusive, I know we've run some similar ones in the past but it gets hard to think of something truly original
