#1 is so moody and dramatic. Love it!

Wonderful desert landscapes. The subtle lighting of #1 does it for me.

I am in love with ALL of these. This series is just AMAZING in its play with light and shadows and colours given by the fading light and all that. I am totally in awe.
(Unfortunately I slipped a disk while doing the :hail: for woodsac's fly-macros, else I'd do them for you, too, Walter !!!)
I love the sight of the moon rising and have NEVER so far had a chance to photograph that since EVERY time I saw that happen I was in the car rushing from Place A to Place B (which would mostly be Place A = our home and Place B = the swimming pool 12 miles down the road), which is why I really love your Photo 2 here most of all.

very nice series... they work great together... i dig 1... but also 3.... good stuff :thumbup:

 

[abraxas]

Thanks everyone!

It was really a good night to be out. I like El Mirage because it's reasonably close to my house, and a good place to try things out. That, and it can be really wierd out there when the weekend crowd flushes out. Enough of there for the season though.

Excelent job! :thumbup:I like the colors, I like the light...these photos are amazing! WAAAWWW! I can't get enought of them! :heart:

Buuut...I think that the second one is a little bit titled!

great shots, you got a killer effect in #1, did you use hdr for that one? moonrise is cool too, and I really like that last one. :thumbup:

 

[GrfxGuru]

#1 the lighting is amazing, wonderful shot. Not that the rest are bad but this one stands out for me.

 

[birdstrike]

I'll break ranks and go with #2, but they are all fantastic! #3, then #1 would be my next picks. I'd print these out in large format!

The range of colors and lights in those hour and 15 minutes are amazing to behold, thanks for sharing.
