The Westgate Bridge by night.
I have a couple of pics that I would love C + C on ... if you please.
They are both the same pic. The second has been adjusted using some of options in Picasa2. I have not really got into the PP side of digital photography yet, and would love some tips and clues. Image taken at F11, Shutter Speed 4s. 
#1 Straight out of the camera. 
#2 enhanced as follows: Feeling Lucky, Auto Contrast, Auto Colour, Moved Fill Light to about 40%, Sharpen. Have I gone too far? Anything else? Thanks Russell
number 1 is an ok shot by itself. My only suggestion would to go earlier to get some colour in the sky. The lights would still show themselves but you would prb have less noise, less lens flare and although the lights look ok they would not be blown out as much.
#2, wow, never used picasa and prob never will. its taken a good photo and bent it over it royally. The noise thru the whole photo is really bad. With night shots you really cant let software anywhere near them on auto. You could have altered the curves and contrast a tad, but auto has gone overboard and just done some really bad things. The blueness its tried to draw out of the black sky is what the light should have been when you took the shot. other than that, its a nice composition, although i'd be tempted to clone out that lit up tower center right as my eye keeps getting drawn there, just wrong time of day imho Simon
www.colberne.com.au I purchased a Teddy Bear this morning for the sum of $10. I named him Mohammed. This afternoon I sold him on E-Bay for $30. My question is, "Have I made a prophet?"
Obzelite,
thankyou for your comments. I might have had the ISO up too high as well - hence the noise. At least the film is cheap in these digital cameras  Will have to try again, with different settings etc.
Russell.
