Hi Juergen, thanks for your visit. I don't think there is a night mode on my camera (there is a night portrait mode). I tried the same shot without the flas, but I think it is more interesting with it. It was nearly pitch dark when the shot was taken. Yes, that is the lens's shadow, maybe I should have cropped it ;)
Thanks, Fai
Faintlightofdawn, on September 1, said:
I see Juergen, there is nothing like that on the dial, maybe there is a colour setting. This was taken in AV mode with a flash. Best wishes, Fai

OH my god, I am such an idiot, I spent the last few minutes scouring your photo for a 'duck' which I thought was descending into this pond, when in fact, it is 'dusk' which is descending!! Ha ha ah!
What I was going to say was,that I do very much like the way you have the grass in focus in the foreground. It makes it so unusual, and stands out against the inky darkness very well. Oh no, I can't write any more, my tummy is shivering as I want to burst out laughing at my stupidity, but I have to keep quiet as everyone is asleep. Torture!!!
Very best wishes to you, Fai, sorry about my silly mistake!
Sue :D
Faintlightofdawn, on September 1, said:
Thanks a lot Marcel.
Thanks Sue lol, you never know, there might be a duck or two in shot, but it would be just a slither of light because of the 25 second exposure for this one. Thanks for your comment about the grass, Panoramio is a strange place, you need striking thumbnails to get people's attention, and that in my opinion is one way to do it.
Best wishes, Fai

Hi Fai, this picture is great and gets a Y*. Is the foregrounds brilliancy from a flash? The whole picture is really mysterious. Congratulationes and Greetings Udo

Faintlightofdawn, on September 3, said:
Thanks a lot Luka, Lorenzo and Finn.
I agree Udo, very mysterious, yes a flash was used to lighten up the foreground, I think it is a little more attract than the shot without a flash.

sekica, on September 5, said:
This is very beautiful! But I think that the focus is on the grass, and It should be on the water and that blue sky!
Faintlightofdawn, on September 5, said:
Haha, it's a little trick Sekica, the tripod was not that stable so using the flash made the foreground sharp, but the background was blurred anyway, so it didnt matter. Fai =)

This is an interesting shot. How do you call the time after the sunset ? Can I translate it with blue hour ?

Thanks Digga, I'm not sure actually, but a lot of users have referred to this as "blue hour", and I have no qualms with that :) Best wishes, Fai
