Thanks Jason for setting this up.

This was fun

[Tim-in-TX]

I guess I'll throw in on this one...a little intimidated by the competition though!

Just so you know, I've always been drawn to exaggerating the moon...I don't know why other than it just looks cool!

[robert t]

oh you guys are good!!!! ok my feeble attempt ( I am work, and really can't spend any more time on it).

[guitarbug]

I know I dont have a shot in the dark (pun intended), this is why I may take that PS workshop!

The hardest part for me was convincingly moving the light angle from the front to the back.

You'll also notice our flag-flying castle owners have dutifully taken Old Glory in for the night... though they're apparently not ready to give up on the Christmas season... heheh

I enjoyed this one!

Edit: Updated picture

[Tim-in-TX]

Okay skunk, I think you got me beat. I love the Christmas lights!

[skunk]

Thanks Tim! Everyone I showed it to prior to posting said lose the Christmas lights, but I just couldn't resist...
My wife (Scout leader) pointed out that the US flag had to be taken in at night, unless it is lit with a spotlight. So I took it out. Upon closer examination, it does appear the actual building has multiple spots on both flags... Guess it's too late to re-submit. Great idea Serrator!

[Serrator]

Awesome work guys so far!! I love all the different renditions and effects.
This buidling is a local business here where I live. I know the owner and he allowed me to go up into one of the spires a while back...what a great view!

Here is another small but great tut on lighting night scenes:

skunk...as far as I know you can re-submit an updated version if you wish...Jason please correct me if I am wrong on this.

[robert t]

Do we get more than one shot at this one?

[Happyfunball]

Serrator and Robert,

You can update your submission at any time prior to the start of voting, but only one submission per person.

Keep them coming, these are great so far!

Sadly, I didn't set the ISO on my camera high enough when I took this!
