I know, it's a bit of a cliche, but it's all I could come up with.

I took a photo with the body cap still on.

another amazing nite shot

ROFL..A bit cliche? hahahaha.... that is so funny!

hope you don't mind a little critique...
Take the lens cap off. It does help you take better pictures. ;-)
Congrats on the brown.

Glad to finally read how you did this.

'they' never fail to punish u for a witticism like this
welcome..join the club
05/11/2005 04:15:40 AM
Funny to see the amount of votes comments you got.. never so much for a 'last' photo :))
05/11/2005 12:24:11 AM
By the way the title lost it for ya...

;)

This is a really stupid shot. I hope this gets the brown ribbon.
05/10/2005 07:01:08 PM
nearly humour :)
05/10/2005 02:00:00 PM
I think that big bulk of a man is really distracting from the main point of focus. Also, your image seems to be completely overexposed! The composition is good though, I've never seen such a harmonic balance in a picture.
5 (for the idea).
05/10/2005 12:28:58 PM
another one?
05/10/2005 11:17:09 AM
sorry - can't make out a thing - maybe an entry for the brown?
05/10/2005 04:36:45 AM
ho ho.
05/09/2005 11:33:59 PM
LOL, open your eyes!
05/09/2005 06:20:50 PM
quirky post card from the 80's, would love to suggest an improvement but there is no image to comment on in my view.....
05/09/2005 11:14:30 AM
I'm impressed with the composition and focus but the exposure is a little off (IMHO).

hmmm Canberra is really rocking tonight

Made me laugh but doesn't get close to hanging on the wall. Four for the idea!
05/08/2005 12:40:55 AM
mmmmmmmmmmmm
05/07/2005 05:21:56 PM
i absolutely LOVE your shade of black.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/06/2005 07:08:45 PM
the black frame has been done
05/06/2005 05:11:36 PM
lol..you must be taking some really good drugs
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/06/2005 03:42:28 PM
Wow! Nice shot. Even though it's a little underexposed, I that's a really nice lens cap you have there.

05/06/2005 01:52:10 PM
noir on black very chic
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/06/2005 12:26:07 PM
not much happening where you live!!
05/06/2005 04:20:55 AM
Funny!!! But your not the first to do this. Been done before
05/05/2005 11:31:19 PM
Ah! If the "cows in the pasture" wouldn't have got me $10...this would have.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/05/2005 10:43:04 PM
ummm where's the picture.....don't see anything but black....
05/05/2005 08:50:25 PM
It really captures the dynamic nightlife scene that Canberra is so well known for.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/05/2005 07:47:44 PM
Okay, well, I'm speechless.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/05/2005 05:14:38 PM
Hmm, yes. Very late night indeed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/05/2005 05:02:56 PM
It must be very very dark in Canberra.
05/05/2005 04:06:55 PM
Humor 10, composition ?, exposure perfect.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/05/2005 02:24:20 PM
I'm sorry, but there seems to be nothing there...
05/05/2005 02:16:31 PM
Outstanding conceptual accomplishment. I applaud you for your vision. The technical details, however, are somewhat deficient. It's very low contrast, especially on the right, and I think you could have gone for a tighter crop. The impact of your subject is diminished somewhat by the composition, and may have been stronger with a more centered approach. Love the border though.

cool

IF YOU LOOK CLOSE THE LENS COVER SAYS NIKKON
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/05/2005 11:13:14 AM
you're not the only one who photographed this cow on the field
05/05/2005 10:26:33 AM
Ellsworth Kelly called and he wants his idea back...I was kinda hoping someone would do this though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/05/2005 10:03:53 AM
Looks similar to \"Cow in Field at Night\"... Might try a longer exposure time if the city is really framed in this shot...
05/05/2005 09:04:34 AM
Oops--there's no photo here. Or is Canberra really that dark? lol
05/05/2005 07:10:59 AM
You might need to check out your monitor.
05/05/2005 04:51:44 AM
That's a dark spot on the globe...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/05/2005 02:42:37 AM
Yea right!
05/05/2005 01:27:43 AM
is this the thick dark they mention in the bible?
05/04/2005 11:59:20 PM
This joke was funny the first time I saw it 20 years ago. It's gotten very old since then.
05/04/2005 09:46:12 PM
Looks like a black cat at midnight to me.
There had to be at least one.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 08:50:17 PM
D'oh, forgot to remove the lens cap!! Very funny. Did yoiu realize it's been done here atleast twice?
05/04/2005 07:10:26 PM
This is getting old!!!
05/04/2005 06:39:15 PM
Is that the black cow on the beach in the bottom left hand corner?
05/04/2005 05:10:14 PM
Id love to give you a good score, but I saw someone else with something remarkably similar.
05/04/2005 05:08:38 PM
oh boy....and oh well
05/04/2005 04:57:06 PM
I'm familiar with the joke behind this and can appreciate that. But there really isn't anything to look at here besides a black box.
05/04/2005 02:38:10 PM
LOL, i didn't know Canberra had no electricity !?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 12:44:10 PM
It's nothing! Can't see a thing!
05/04/2005 11:53:36 AM
Nice shot!!!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 11:00:34 AM
Unique idea, but I don't think this qualifies as a photograph.
05/04/2005 10:35:44 AM
oooo! Another one! {{{giggles}}} a 10 for you too!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 09:45:39 AM
Looks like Providence at night. I'll give you a 5 for the concept.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 09:03:56 AM
Could use the same image and title it "Canberra at day" no only kidding Canberra is a lovely place just wouldn't like to live there.
Very interesting image I wonder how the DPC community see it. I think what you have created here is a going to make a few people very harsh in the voting.
But "such is life"
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 08:17:31 AM
Very nice. Sharp. White balance is a little off.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 06:40:50 AM
Are you trying to say no night life?
05/04/2005 06:34:22 AM
I rarely give a 1 but this is a photographic competition and I don't think this is worthy of submission.
05/04/2005 06:05:29 AM
Sweet. Original. It's easy to tell you used a tripod on this image to capture the fine details. I really like the dark areas, as they tend to define this shot and really capture the viewers imagination.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 05:45:33 AM
wow
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 05:33:17 AM
interesting use of light, although are you sure it's canberra? Looks like Perth to me :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 03:37:30 AM
you have a tough competition for the brown :D
05/04/2005 02:50:58 AM
Did you submit the wrong photo? It's dark though..
05/04/2005 01:28:30 AM
Good try - for the brown ribbon. Bad try at an old old joke.
05/04/2005 01:11:49 AM
you guys are copying each other LOL
05/04/2005 01:01:06 AM
Can't make this one out
05/04/2005 12:58:54 AM
Why is a brown ribbon THAT exciting? I don't get it......
05/04/2005 12:49:58 AM
is this a joke??? I don't see a thing 2
05/04/2005 12:36:42 AM
LOL!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 12:36:17 AM
I knew that it would be done
05/04/2005 12:24:43 AM
did someone forget to pay the electric bill? I see nothing
05/04/2005 12:12:02 AM
Made me laugh - 10
