I had it open for 30s, and F11, I believe, although I can't remember too well.

Thank you

Amazing capture! City photography at night is one of my favourite subjects.
I have only one critique about this photo;
This isn't straight. I wouldn't notice it otherwise, but the buildings seems to be little bit tilted.
Otherwise, great job.

Haha yeah it's not straight...it annoys me each time I see it. I tried straightening it, but the crop takes out too much of the photo. I'm truly devastated about this!

But thank you

This is a gorgeous photo. I would have left the shutter open a bit longer though. The buildings are barely visible.

Haha yes, I would have too, but this was the maximum the camera would let me (30 sec). I would have used Bulb, but I would have shaken the camera D:

But thank you very much

The light effects are really beautiful and create a calm atmosphere, which stands in contrast to the busy scene

Thank you for that! I really appreciate the comment.

And yes, I was trying to get that effect in the picture, but being a holiday and all, nobody wanted to be on the road that day. So sadly, there weren't many lights at all. But oh well xD

Have to say, the reflection of the water under the bridge makes it pretty damn awesome

Definitely worth it!
I just wish it wasn't a public holiday though. There are normally more lights and more cars that go past on that road. Oh well

You produce seriously nice night/light images. I don't think I see as clearly in a city at night in person.

Yeah! it's amazing what effects you can get with just a long exposure.

I think this is one of my favorite pieces from your gallery. I love how you can only see the lights of the cars and not the body paint of the cars. What shutter speed did you use to take this? I also like the POV of this shot and that you can see the reflection of the lights in the water. Overall nice work!

lucanus43 In reply to dedieyes [2012-04-17 09:33:45 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much for the detailed comment
Well, I used a 30 second exposure from memory, and possibly an f 8.0 or so. I think it should say on the metadata on the side of this image...which appears to be missing :S I have no idea why it didn't show up. Oh well.

But yeah, there was a bridge right there that I could stand on to take this photo, which was good Thank you again.
