I am liking the last one, the way the light 'rays' off the sail is quite neat :up: - maybe a little over exposed but still good, where you directly under the passenger terminal for this one?

Very nice work, i agree that the light rays do look very good. I think I will try to catch them in a stitch pano if I get the chance.

Totally agree that last one stands out alot.

Your flash must be really amazing to reach so far and make opera house light up like that! :wink: Just kiddin, the WB looks fine, because the lights at the bottom don't look wrong or anything. I like the patterns on the first as well, good job!

Wow.. the first and last shots make the Opera House very different!

Where these laser lights projected onto the OH?
