Great to see a good turnout tonight! :up:
I think every man/woman, tripod and camera had the same idea tonight, holy crap I have never seen so many people with cameras and tripods...

Anyway hopefully there will be some interesting pictures from the night, not to dawdle, here are a quick four that sum up the night from my pov.

Observatory Hill - what! a picture without someone else in it! :wink: :wink:

Wow Gerry

I think I might just format my CF card and not bother. The first is superb. I like the great dynamic range you've got in it with the tree, sunset and the background buldings all being well lit.

And that last one is a cracker because we see the lights casting down on the SOH

HDR all the way, I was trying to get some more light from the tree... and I also managed to chop of the left part of it which I was spewing about but all in all I was happy there were no people in it :roll:

yeah i like this one too, but it does not feel special...maybe cause there was like 35000 other people next to me with the same shot :shock:

The fairy lights in the trees make this shot imo....i would love to take credit for that but did not even notice them until i got home :|

Wonderful shots.

Gerry,

love the tunnel, great shot. First one is also really nice, pity about the cut off on the left but still great.

The last one is probably the best for me, love the colours and the beams shooting up.

Didn't you know that photography is a team sport ?? :D :D

Cheers,

André
