The photos in this gallery inspire me to grab my camera and immediately create a gallery of my own photos like these... then the reality sets in. What to do about getting photos like this in Sydney? :)

Very impressive and does make one feel in need of more experience.

Doug - what a gorgeous gallery - thanks for the heads up.
And I agree with stubbsy - it's all a matter of just opening your eyes and looking around you with just a slightly different perspective.
Get out there and play !!!!

I saw this guys photos on pbase a year or so ago and had the immediate same reaction - "grab my camera and go out at night".

Wonderful gallery. I think he stitches these shots together and does a lot of HDR as well.

Hehe, I just got back from doing some night shots. No subjects as interesting as his though. :)

I shudder to think the amount of pp time that went into some of those images. Several are very effective for me. Though some are overdone for my taste.

Great gallery to show you what is possible.

Not wrong - did you read what he does to get everything in focus?

Or everything exposed properly?

I'm going to stop looking... I do not have the time to get that proficient in PP yet.

Good on him. Nice duck photo, too!
