Finally getting around to pulling all the photos of the summer from my camera and stumbled across this. He looks like a lion attacking the flame.
A few night photos from Alaska. There aren't many- sunset was around 11:30pm and I rarely managed to stay up that late.

Whittier tilt/shift at night.

Four photos of midtown Manhattan shot from the same balcony at different times: two photos during the day in a snowstorm, two photos about fifteen minutes after sunset.
I might add that at both times it was damn cold. The evening I took the night shots it was around fifteen degrees with at least a thirty mile an hour wind. Couple that with being on a forty fifth floor balcony in the tallest building in the near vicinity and you are guaranteed to be windburned and have snot frozen all over your face. Ah...good times!
All were shot hand held on my D300 with the 16-85 VR DX. I braced myself against the walls/ railings to steady the night shots.
I usually pass by this guy during the daytime and he'll be oooooozing out of the window (to the point he almost looks like he'll fall out because he's hanging out so far). I say oozing out because 1) he is a floppy fat cat. 2) he braces himself on the sill with 2 little paws that pushes all the fat out to the sides like orange fur ooze. its GREAT.
That evening however, he was not oozing. That's the most normal and 'slender' I've ever seen him. Other than that I like how I inadvertently got a very orange toned photo which fits perfectly with the running orange ooze theme. I hope one day I shall catch him when he's fallen so I can smoosh him.
Here are two samples of a manually focused night image. The original and a de-saturated version. Thanks to my failing eyesight they weren't focused at all. However, I still liked the image.
