Great. Nice location. I take it there's been a devil of a spotlight just right of the frame. I've learnt over the years that a sunshade is even more important at night than during daylight hours. Trouble is, most of these ufo's aren't even visible in the viewfinder or only after you've stopped down. This is where a piece of equipment comes in that has mostly been ignored by the last few generations of photographers, with the exception of the large-format guys: the compendium. I have a small self-supporting one made especially for 35 mm cameras by Camera Bellows (since taken over by Lee) which has saved me on more than one occasion. The second shot could do with a tad more contrast in my opinion. But I really like them. If ever this place is near your home, do go there again and show us a few more. Ralf -- Ralf R.
