    Its been a long time since the night assignment, lets have another go at it. Creative lighting, slow shutter, there's multiple things you can look at here.

    Again, the rules are simple:
    • Should be be using some canon gear , this is a canon forum after all.
    • Shot with the assignment in mind, go out and shoot something new don't dig up something from the archives.
    • and most importantly have fun.

    Craig, I like the photographs. You have taken it seriously and done them with a tripod. Very well done

    Last weekend we went to Torredembarra, the surprise was that at dusk it started to get cold, as cold as in the middle of winter,it seemed like the cold that had to be in January had moved to April.The walk ended quickly, we found a cafeteria where only two brave smokers stood on the terrace.
    Once inside we saw that they had liquid chocolate with churros, something strange in this area.So we tempered ourselves with chocolate, until it was time to return home.

    The five photographs I took seem to me to be a little soft, it may be that they have some jitter due to the lighting.

    Thank you , José. I find now a days I tend to use the tripod a bit more, I am not as steady as I was when I was younger.

    Nicely done , José. I like the cup and saucer, the best of your images. I find it simple and pleasing to look at.
