Lights in the sky

[Willigan]

I took this during rehearsals for the Australia Day concert in Canberra. I thought it looked pretty interesting from that perspective, but it lost some punch because the ISO was too high, so it's a bit noisy

Lovely balanced composition taken from an interesting perspective Willigan

I like the composition Craig, and it's very has a nice Mood to it as well.

Had it been raining, or is the surface naturally shiney ?

He's got four?... explains a few things, I suppose ...

The surface is a little strange - during the day it looks like ordinary old slate, but at night it's glassy & has that nice green tinge to it. I'll head back there to get some better pics in the next week or 2.

Doug, but it may've been the Rogue Traders putting on the light show, who I think were rehearsing at the time. That sort of music all sounds the same to me tho

nice capture.

as far as noise, have you tried some of the noise reduction software products out there.
My favourite is neat image.

Noise Ninja is another alternative, does the same sort of thing.

at least with my system and the test shots I used at the time, neat image was far superior to noise ninja.

I am sure others will say something else works better for them but neat image does it for me.

I evaluated quite a few of them a year or so ago and settled for neat image.
I had noise ninja around second from memory.

But it does it a lot quieter

Thanks for the tips, but I did run it through Neat Image before posting - that's how noisy the original was...

[spartikus]

nice shot, apart from the noise as you said
maybe use a lower fstop to prevent the "starry" look of the lights...unless that's the look you were going for!
