    These are fantastic!
    I especially like #1, that red just works and I like that little pop of blue over on the right--I'm a sucker for city shots at night with all the windows lit up.
    What a view you have!

    Saw a short clip on our local news. It was a spectacular show and you captured it well.

    They also have a "Shanghai" exhibit at the Asian Art Museum in SF currently running. Should be exciting with the Expo over there.

    Thanks for the kind comments everyone. I only knew I'd have a chance to see this because of the rehearsal run earlier in the week. Otherwise, I probably would have been out somewhere when the opening happened. It took me a couple of experimental shots and changes of lens to work out that 5 seconds stopped down to around 13 with the 50mm at ISO 200 was a reasonable starting point.

    Howdy,

    These turned out stunning, each and everyone, but have to say

    the First one is My Favorite.

    Very nicely done, I am sure it was an experience that you'll never forget.
    Take care,
