My Photo Mantra:
What is the 'point' of this shot . . .what
is the subject? And, then -. . . what can I do to capture
it?
Find the energy, what is it that drew my
eye.
Don't photograph things per say, but the "essence" of
things. And eliminate everything else.

Denver's 16th Street Mall
It was pretty dark; didn't even notice couple in
background.

Once I set-up for fireworks - the crowd prevented my
relocating during the short display.

This shot was almost an after thought. I stopped to grab
a bite and set up camera to take pic of something in motion
- another exploration into "streaming" images. I am pleased
with it - and the effect of the lights' stationary
reflection on the moving shuttle. I wish I could take more
credit for its accidental success.

More elevation! The best I could do was climb onto a low
wall and set my tripod as high as possible.
Post Test
After Action and Re-Work
In responce to feedback from Jay via
nocturnes.tribe.net
- I am posting some other shots from this shoot. And I'm
also going to experiment with some of the New Year's shots
in terms of editing in my digital darkroom.

First image: Sharpened; cloned out blue light of
boombox.
Second image: "soft glow" (Gimp - artistic/soft
glow).
Third image: "greyscale" (irfanview).
Couldn't resist experimenting with Gimp filters. 1st is
"posterize". 2nd is posterize plus "cartoon".
