Plants or trees or flowers, at night, by moonlight or artificial light.

It's a tricky challenge, but there is a positive side effect of drama, mystery, and unrelenting mosquito bites.

The results would be dramatic. I like it. The follow-up challenge could be Itchy & Scratchy: My Mosquito Bite. "D

I'd be all for this.

It would absolutely result in some stunning images.

This is your production General? Just the type of drama I was talking about.

Perhaps also in the vein of the monotone lily shot in the fine arts challenge.

Maybe another suggestion is "Black and white flowers, or rather, flowers in black and white.

Yes -- the stupid thing blooms once/year (if lucky) for one night only -- I happened to be arriving that evening (and had been alerted to the opportunity) and was able to leave it set up overnight with the built-in intervalometer. The light changes because there's a big skylight and windows surrounding the plant, and there was a bright Moon and variable clouds that night. I put the video together in an older version of Premiere from 100 frames.

I think this would make for a terrific challenge. We have not had this before so new fresh ideas will flow.

so, unless it was a quick event, it seemed she bloomed and no one came by to pollinate her?
