20080925 - Night Purple

The September Scavenger Hunt

#25 - Night or The Colour Purple

Been to Castle Howard today with Sam - they're on hols in the area so I had a day off :) Stopped in Masham on the way home as I didn't have any particularly good purple pics. Not a particularly good night pic either, but I didn't have my tripod, so here's a sinister looking fairground - tinted purple - the colour of the night :)

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM
1s f/4.5 at 17.0mm iso1600 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

I agree with Cindi... those clowns definitely give it a creepy feel!

Coolio! Did you see Sebastian Brideshead?
Dave Hein26-Sep-2008 06:40
Reminds me of a scene from a Dirty Harry movie for some reason. Sudden Impact maybe?

What would look cheerful and fun in broad daylight takes on another atmosphere altogether in this eerie purple light.
Kathryn25-Sep-2008 22:56
Sinister indeed - with a couple of apparitions to the right for good measure. I stayed up specially and now I'm too afraid to go to bed!!! ... It was well worth the wait though.
Barbara Heide25-Sep-2008 22:41
spooky but so beautiful excellent handheld shot!
J. Scott Coile25-Sep-2008 22:36
