hey everyone I just came across this forum while looking for places to share my photos.
Here are a few of my more recent night shots, i also realize the grain but i did what i could without a tripod.
Criticism is more than welcome!

Heya Sanchez, and welcome to ThePhotoForum

The second photo is quite appealing, as it seems to tell a bit of a story. And it has dynamics, whereas the other two are pretty static.
Seems like whichever vehicle passed you when you photographed that crossing did NOT obey to the stop sign but went right through, which the only other car in the photo has stopped, indeed. Now the colours of the lights seem to indicate this was an emergency vehicle passing you, so all in all that made me puzzle, think, imagine. All in all a good effect your photo was having on me: it made me stop, contemplate, think, come to a conclusion. AND the noise is not so apparent in that photo.

These are pretty good, considering no tripod.

Hi Sanchez. Welcome. You have a good eye for composition. The first image really isn't doing much for me. The second image is pretty interesting. Like Lafoto said it tells a story. I like how the one set of headlights are positioned in the back like they are waiting for someone. The third image is okay. I like how the dragon catches my eye, but I wish there was more substance to the shot.

Hearty Welcome First

#1: inspite of having no point of interest, i really liked the angle of view this image has; something made me stick on to that for some time.
#2: lafoto has given a classic analysis on this. I liked it. I feel the static pair of light adds some difference to it; and the sign board of stop adds some irony too.
#3: This is really really wonderful

Regards

Thank you. The vehicle is actually one of the city buses here and I actually had a tripod for that one so that helped the noise a bit.

I think composition is extremely important so that actually means a lot lol. What type of "substance" were you looking for?

Thank you for the welcome and feedback!

I'm really digging this forum so far and especially like that every one can actually analyze a photo rather than just letting me know if it's visually appealing or not lol. I went out yesterday and took some more photos I'll be posting up later today.
