Horse race... which "night" shot do you like better? by A.M. Ruttle

Posted on November 20, 2011

There are two images of NIGHT TIME at the Mormon Row Barn in Grand Teton National Park:
1) a darker image that evokes night time (image is clickable):

and
2) a lighter one (lower ISO) that appears to be daylight, but the stars are visible (this image is clickable also):

Which do you like better? So far, the lighter image is winning based on the number of features and votes; I’m leaning toward #2 above, the lighter of the two. (p.s. This started as “Writing”, and was meant to be a “Journal” entry; go to this link to see the first votes that were cast.

    Both excellent but #2 is my favourite with the light focussing on the building, etc. Kasia

    Hi Kasia-D, thanks so much for dropping in on the horse race! AMR

    I think the lighter because it shows the contrasts, however it doesn’t look like night as much. I liked the dark one at first, then changed my mind.

  • A.M. Ruttle:

    Hi Kay, you’ve captured my dilemma about night shots for sure! Thanks for stopping in! AMR

    I vote for #2. #1 just looks like an underexposed image.Have you tried shooting at full moon? :)

  • A.M. Ruttle:

    Hi Gary, nice of you to drop in; I liked #1 at first but then came around to thinking what you’re mentioning. Yep, that was the big ole full moon lighting up the barn. Hope you had a good rest of your trip??!! AMR

    I like #2 also. I agree with Gary above about #1.

  • A.M. Ruttle:

    I like the lighter one. It brings out the cloud pattern more.
