Another cold early morning at the Hobart docks. But I was happy with the results.

UPDATE: First shot cropped to take out moon and make it more pano like.

Nice moody shots here John, Just a suggestion, have you tried cropping 1/3 off the bottom of the first one? The pano crop I think would suit it. You would also get rid of that annoying little white spot on the bottom.

Very worthwhile outing John, the first two are really nice. I would also crop out the bottom on the first. That's a reflection of the moon??

cheers,

André

Hi Philip and André.

Yes, that's a reflection of the moon in the first. But it looks like a little dust bunnie. I'll try cropping a bit more off the top and bottom to give it a more pano effect (and loose the moon).

Cheers

Thanks for all the comments. I've cropped the first one to be more pano and taken out the moon reflection. I've also tweaked the 2nd a little.

Cheers
