NIGHT SHOTS IN BRUSSELS WITH THE D200 (iso 800 /iso 1600)

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Hi jaco,
I think your Bruxelles series captures the essence of the city very well. I had the pleasure of staying there numerous times when I was involved in EC funded research projects back in the 90's. Your images brought back fond memories, and also make exceptionally good use of light.

One thing I wonder about, the Manneken Pis statue seemed rather lower (like eye-level) when I saw it, though it seems high on a pedestal in your shot. Has it been put up higher or did you use a really low perspective?

Cheers
Steffen.

Excellent pictures. All were at 800? I noticed pronounced noise in the skies in some but not others. Pushed in PS perhaps?

I really like this one http://www.jacobel.net/pages/D200/night ... ght20.html

My eyes bounce all over the place in a sort of party extravaganza.

Was NR turned on? I think that the high ISO looks pretty good. Any word on how it performs compared to 5d? I'd assume not quite as well, but it would be interesting to see.
