They really appeal, at least to me anyway.

I love shooting neon, try the posterize effect on photoshop its great with neon.

The lens is the standard one that came with the Sony DSC-S85. It is listed at 4 or 3 mm to 50mm. I am saving to get a SRL but life interrupts that fund for now.

The light reflection off the lake was at 7mm and the Neon Sign one was at 12mm I believe.

Both shot off my of my tripod, both were set to ISO100 at the time of shooting.

Wow... I love the colors in the "View From the Past."

What film were you using?

Great job! I love that purple tinge.

The first one is calming indeed. Very nice night shots.
May I ask, why 100 iso in such low light? Do you find there to be too much noise at 400?

yum. Very nice. The first is a good picture but seems to standard I guess. If beautiful scenes can ever be "passe." The 2nd though is very nice. Very original. Great angle and good exposure for the moment. Great snap and a good stock snap if it is high enough resolution.
