I went back and forth on what to choose for the new bi-weekly challenge.  I didn't want to pick something too hard for newer photographers, but I wanted a topic that would be challenging for the experienced shooters on the site too.  I kicked around a lot of ideas, before settling on AFTER DARK as the next theme.  There are so many things you can do with night photography, like go  downtown and shoot the local  sites in a new way.  Or maybe you want to show us a more exotic location like this one in Las Vegas.  Night time is a great time to experiment with long exposures and  neon lights like this.  You can also do zoom effects.  You start with a neon sign like this one, and as you shoot the picture, zoom in or out so you get  streaking like this.  Finally, sometimes it's interesting to just photograph a  statue in a different type of light.  The possibilities for night photography are endless.  JimmyNeutron does great bug and flower shots at night.  There are bonfires, campouts, fireworks, etc.  Break out your imagination and show us what you can do...After Dark.

For the next challenge, I wanted to pick someone who's belonged to Photographica for awhile, but hasn't hosted a bi-weekly challenge yet.  In looking over the list of past challenges, I never saw TURBO's name.  You're on the clock now TURBO!
