Hydrant at night.

An entry for "Yellow" in the Four Colour February challenge. See other participants here.

I've been taking advantage of the D700 and some new fast lenses to do some more night photography. A fairly normal scene can become quite special because of the quality of light.

Nikon D700
1/25s f/1.4 at 50.0mm iso3200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Lol at Norman,but he need not have worried - the fire engines(tenders?)also don't change colour. That is a high performing camera you are putting to good use.

Yep, well seen, well conceived and expertly executed!!! Great shot Peter, and I agree with Walter - great use of the fast 50mm lens....V

WOW iso 3200 amazing.. has a warm glow about it..

Nice night shot. You're right about the light. The 50mm f/1.4 is the perfect lens for this and the image shows no noise at 3200 ISO.
