City at Night

[Pgcc93]

With the nights drawing in don't let that stop you takin pics folks.

Just steady the camera and press the shutter. In fact.... don't steady the camera just experiment

These were taken at the end of the BLOCK festival river cruise on Wednesday night.

cracking pics.

The second one catches it for me, love the colours and the reflections.

Quality images.

May I ask what they were taken with and if the posted image is original or retouched? The waves suggest a short shutter speed, any chance of the exif data for clues?

Low-light and night photography was one of my favourites in days gone by, and if digital can produce this, then I may be motivated to resurrect that interest, and it's the right time of year too.

Thanks for the comments Emmar & Apollo.

They were taken on a Panasonic FZ10 http://www.users.bigpond.com/vkelim/DMCFZ10/
without a tripod I just leaned against a post (this is when the Image stabiliser comes in handy)

I didn't do anything to the images other than resize and a slight bit of sharpening nothing else.

Shutter speed 1/4sec at f3 ISO 400

I've tried the Canon D10 at night and the results were fantastic ! but it's far too heavy due to the solid build quality for my liking but the new D20 is supposed to be much lighter. I'd go check em' out

A few more just to show that blurred pics can also work as well as sharp images.

Excellent stuff mate. Real talent

I'm humbled. Thanks Gazza but I just pressed the button and the camera did the hard bit

Give it a go you ain't nothing to lose, just point and shoot and see what happens. Any object that has a source of light will do, be inspired

I like the light in the early evening, at this time of year. I've thought about it a lot recently, and I can't describe it, but it's damn good, on a half decent day. Sometimes blurring can be OK too.

My favourite...

Nice work Pgcc93.

Good point PD the light you get at this time of year in the early evening is superb on a clear night anyway!

It must be due to the low angle of the sun coupled with the high contrast and the warm tone that it throws over all that it touches and as it only lasts a short time compared to the normal daylight scene which were most used to, it can make even the most boring scenes look totaly different and worthy of a photo.

Glass constructed buildings gain well in this type of situ as they just blaze with all the reflections as long as you've got the sun behind you.

Time to get yer camera out I think.
