Heh, I was at the exact same spot a few days ago shooting these pics. Yours look much better though. :thumbup: The only thing I want to critique here is the slant on the first pic.

I will never trust a non-manual mode for night shots again, heh.

Nice night work!!

A few days ago. What a WASTE of money to build and power a waterfall under a bridge. I am told its pretty at night though with colored lights.

thanks. there's no slant though. look at the buildings, they're all straight. it's just the shoreline that gets wider near the right of the picture.

Stunning shots what camera did you use and setting? I am still trying to perfect night shots.

number one for me ernie, good composition and the pano format works a treat, standing out from the other shots.

d80 and 17-55mm f/2.8 lens. settings were iso 100, aperture f16 or 22 and shutter 20-30 secs. pretty easy when you look at it actually. and some post-processing as well of course (levels, saturation, unsharp mask, ...)
