Melbourne at night

Hi All,

I recently decided to take advantage of being in the city 2 nights a week, and attempt to improve my night photography after some of the inspiring work I have seen from Luben, Shay and others.

Here's my first serious attempt from last week, I realise there are some problems what I need to be addressed lens flare, etc.

    Thanks Johno. I live and work in the same suburb here in Melbourne, so on a day-to-day basis, I typically don't find alot of inspiration for shooting. So it was a different story the other night...and I am beginning to wish that I worked in the city. icon10.gif

    Thanks for your comments,

    I'd crop out that thing in the lower right, tho.

    Very nice. Color. Exposure. Good.

    If I could make a change it would be to crop out the bright light on the
    right along with the railing.

    Wow!! That was amazing, the colours are gorgeous...reflections on the water are one of my fave things along with sunsets, although I've never nabbed a great shot like it myself...great stuff!

    Wow! This is really beautiful. Wow! When I shot at night, this is what I aim for but have yet to get. Did I say "wow" already?
