When I saw what this week's Photo Hunt theme was, my first question to myself was: how dark can I really go? For, frankly, night shots are most definitely not my forte. Put more bluntly, many of the shots I've attempted to take at night just haven't come out too well, if they have come out at all!
Consequently, the best I feel able to offer up is a pair of photos containing dark silhouettes: the first featuring a weather vane that I snapped on a day trip to beautiful Nan Lian Garden (that, funnily enough, also supplied me with photos for the 'shiny'-themed Photo Hunt along with that for 'heavy'!); and the second taken on a ferry going across Victoria Harbour around dusk a few weeks ago. So... good enough? Sincerely hope you folks decide that it is so! :)

Well I like both your choices but the second one is excellent. Have a great weekend YTSL
I use a silly digital camera and am not good at taking night photos. I can see your image but you won't be able to see mine. ish.
I had the same difficulty :) I discard many more dark shots than I keep so I cheated a little this week. But these two are lovely shots, so they more than make up.
Nice "dark" pictures !
It is very much easier using digital, you don't have to think about the expense, just experiment.
Mine were very much shots in the dark back in 1991
Dark shapes are always a bit spooky and yet totally fascinating! Great pics!
Those are both so striking and beautiful. Great choices.
wow. great photo

Hi JMB --
Glad you approve of both choices even while preferring one to the other. :)
Hi eastcoastlife --
Actually, I think I COULD see both your images! ;b
Hi a. --
Wouldn't call your first two photos cheating. Inspired would be my word instead! :)
Hi Gattina --
Thanks! :)
Hi Aileni --
Agree with your thoughts -- and must say that using a digital camera has got me taking a lot more photos than I previously used to! :)
Hi Greyscale Territory --
Spooky, huh? Hadn't thought so, actually! ;o
Hi Carver --
Glad you like both shots! :)
Hi aerin --

Those are both great for this week's theme! I like the sky in the second one a lot.
ytsl
The silhouette of the Nan Lian Garden would make a lovely paper cut.
These are perfect choices and really quite good photos.
Hi 2lives (Lissa) --
Thanks, and you're welcome! :)
Hi Daisy --
Yeah, I like that sunset in the second photo too! :)
Hi sbk --
Cool idea! Re that Nan Lian Garden photo: Have a soft spot for it and had been trying to figure out what would be a good occasion to put it up on the blog. Thank goodness for the Photo Hunt... ;b
Hi Leslie --

I like these dark series photos~!
Hi Michico-Adan --
Thanks! :)
(BTW, are you a Photo Hunt participant? If so, sorry, but I couldn't see your entry on your blog!)
Hey,
the pictures are cool and in my opinion they are not too dark ;)
Check out my blog and tell me what you think about it.
Cheers
