Flying Saucer

Milton Keynes, UK

You won't believe this......
Everyone encouraged me to take up my self-challenge of getting a UFO pic for this challenge and one just happened to fly past a dis-used barn near my home tonight and hover with its lights blazing!
I dashed over and took this snap.

I like the shot even without the UFO!

Many thanks Jim - it was a lot of fun, got covered in all kinds of stuff getting to that place for the background. Hope you don't mind me asking...what does MSP stand for ?!

Regards,

Paul

Paul,
Well done. I like the final result - you more than answered the challenge. I can also believe that you had fun doing this - and that's the primary objective of all this.

Wondered if anyone would be up this time of night to comment. Thanks Gayle. I have about 2 or 3 like it - picked this one. Wasn't *really* pleased with any of them, but considering the fun challenge you guys laid down in the forum I couldn't resist a bit of fun. I wasn't going to spend a few hours on it and throw it away!

Well done, Paul! Great work, you should sell this to a newspaper. Next time, can you stick around and take photos of the little green men, please?
