Yes, I used Photoshop, but not too much- just to invert me. It's possible to do it in a darkroom, though not the easiest of tasks. Things I would do differently: ? Mods: Selective invert.

There was still a little light out when I shot this, but it's still an 8s handheld exposure. I wanted blurred tufts to look soft in the glow of the streetlight.

I printed out two photos, but in negative, then placed them on a black bacground with a very bright white light. I then inverted the results to get semi-normal photographs engulfed by a growing sea of blackness. Sorta worked...

I'm not feeling well, and this VGA camera does not do me any justic, but I like the graininess. I'm being lazy on the couch watching the VP debate with my wife while nursing a nasty sinus infection.

I've gotten a similar shot once, but it was rainy, so I cam back on a clear day. The white building is a training center for the Dallas Cowboys. Things I would do differently: Nothing. Mods: None.
