Colours of the Night - Melbourne

[pharmer]

Some night shots taken around the Yarra, quite enjoying carrying the tripod around

Nice work again Barrie - I like #2 the most, It'd be cool having a small person in the shot, dead centre back towards camera looking up.

All these images are nice and crisp - which lens?

[pharmer]

1,2 and 4 are the 10-20 Sigma, the 3rd was the Tamron 28-75 F2.8

[Alpha_7]

Nice stuff Barrie, I really like the first one, did you PP the light like that ?

I agree with Geoff, something to put shot 2 in scale (a small child) would make the shot stronger for me.

#4 Is great, love the reflections

#3 is the only one that doesn't seem to work for me, not sure if thats because I'm used to you and the Sigma.

Thanks Craig - The first one, I reduced saturation in the yellow areas to make the blue stand out.

The other shots have no PP at all

The third one - I just liked the various colours and the glass (maybe not the strongest composition possible)

[admajic]

Great shots. Love 2 as well.
Also Im a sucker for a good pano. Nice and crisp

Oh how different we all are.

#3 is the standout for me - I like the multilayered composition and the contrasting colours and having some people in shot gives a great sense of scale.

#1 I like next best - for the contrast between the white and the blue. Compositiona ppeals too.

#4 - looks kinda odd to me because the relfections are streaked as if the camera moved. Other than that I like it.

For me #2 is the worst since there isn't much to hold my attention - moreso because it's pretty much one colour.

Thanks for sharing these Barrie.

No problem Stubbsy, thanks for all the comments

With #4 - the reflections are on a moving river and the shutter was open for 15 seconds, so would account for the streaking I guess

Barrie,

You're really getting value out of your gear

I like what you've done with all 4.

#2 looks like it's in some nuclear bunker and a big steel door is going to slam shut any minute I like how you've captured the curves and lines.

[PiroStitch]

2nd one is my favourite, probably because nightscapes no longer hold my interest

[Alex]

Barie, Love no.3 - the colour range is interesting.
