Well a friend and I went on a night shoot at the city last night and here are some of the shots we took.

Still plenty of shots that i have to go through and it seems i still need to learn alot when it comes to post processing (probably still need to learn a lot about composition too but i'm trying ;) :D)

The canon 10-22 has become my new favourite lens :) :D

C&C always welcome

A nice series of shots. My pic is #2... slightly different view of the SOH and SHB than we are used to.

Cheers

I think #2 also, I like the top framing palm leaves. Only picky bit have, is I think it would look even better if the palm, (that you can see all of it) wasn't there.
#3 I don't like the amount of blk sky that you can see. maybe if was a clear night and you could see some stars in there maybe it would be better :?:

Yeah actually, the more and more i look at the second one, the more and more i like it :)

I also think the shot would have been so much nicer if it was only the leaves that was framed, however i don't think it was physically possible for me to do, i wanted to get the length of the bridge, and the opera house at the bottom and to do that, that palm had to be in view.

As for #3, yeah that shot would have worked so much better at around 4:30pm/5pm or so, but the weather was very cloudy last night, so i think i'll have to try a lot of these shots again another day.

iso 100, f8, 16 seconds.

All exif data should still be intact with the images.

Great series. #2 and the last are my picks here. #2 great use of framing and excellent exposure - Last like the perspective and the camera settings have created a lovely balance between subject and background (sky) :) Creamy smooth transitions
cheers

Admins please let me know if there's too many images
