Struggled with this one, weather been lousy and my town is not the prettiest! In fact its downright ugly! Times like this wish i lived in cotswolds. So travelled 5 miles away to highest point and photographed from there! Not my best, but at least i thought about it!

This image was specifically created for a Personal Project created by our project randomiser. This photo was created using the following randomly chosen criteria:

Theme: My Town
Light: Other Light Source (Non flash or Natural)
Focal Distance: 105mm-200mm
Location: Outdoors (Sunset)
Colour Type: Black and White

I actually quite like the pic mate, but I have to pull you up on the light source...

Non-Flash or Natural, this was daylight how natural is that then! How do you interpret natural light and outdoors then??

I read that not flash light or natural light, i.e. street lights, desk lamps, car headlights etc...

Now i read it as, no flash or natural Lol could be read either way actually couldnt it? Non Flash or natural, rather than no flash no natural. Anyway glad you liked it!

The projects have 4 options, on camera flash, off camera flash, natural, or the one you had here, that suggests to me not on camera flash, not off camera flash, and not natural.

To put it another way, if we were at the pub and I bought you a drink (generous you see). You might say to me, anything but not beer or wine, you wouldn't want wine would you?

Looking at the other projects I see Barry has done the same thing, so I'm off to pull him up aswell

I like it. Love B+W! Even though you say the weather was lousy you've still got a bit of detail in the sky. Hmmmm this light source argument!! As Else said how are you supposed to take a photo at sunset but not use the natural light!!? The only way I can think of to take it with no flash or natural light is at night with the street lights lighting it. But then not sure how that shot would come out! (my techy knowledge is not good!!)
Anyway, I say "good one Denny!!"

Thanks ".." But even the street lamps dot come on until after sunset. then it would be a night shot. Anyway another project ticked off! They are really challenging.
