Really nice shots darb.

HOw do you shoot these? Are you shooting RAW?
If not what WB settings do you use, because I shot some last night at Darling harbour and they all have a very orange tinge to them. I set it to incandescent and it still didnt reproduce faithfully.

Nice one though.

Darb

Can I ask if you used the long exposure noise reduction for these? And how long was the exposure.

1st one in my fav.

Cheers

Great shots - I tried taking some last night, but I wasn't to impressed.

For starters, it was too late and the sky was too dark. I like seeing colour in the sky rather than a black sky.

You've got to tell us the settings you used - or is that a secret?

Real nice shots, those. Well done darb!

I like the first one best, but at first I thought the horizon wasn't straight. I got out my trusty square and see that the buildings are indeed perpindicular to the bottom of the photo, so it just must be an illusion due to the way the opposite river bank curves.

Did anyone else feel this or is it just my ailing eyesight?

I love the sky in the first two pics. It adds a kind of 'spookiness' to the image. It almost looks like it's been painted on with long strokes with a wide brush. Looks great.

The first one might look a little better with a 0.5 deg rotate adjustment to the left though.

Good pics well taken.

Thanks for showing.
Steve.
