Night Shots of Halifax

JEFFB · Jul 14, 2005

I left these ones a little large because I like the way the sky turned out in all of them. Let me know what you think.

Beautiful! I'm a sucker for night shots, but these are especially good.

Thanks for looking and thanks for the comments.

As I look at them now, in a daylit room, I don't see the slight blue color that can be seen in the sky, when the room is dark.

very nicely done. the exposures are spot on in the first two! oh, and i can see the blue, it looks great. you should make a panoramic out of these, or do it again sometime and try it. it would look spectacular.

I am definitely impressed by the first two. What were the camera settings and equipment used?

Cool shots, I can't wait to go back to halifax in just over a month

I know exactly where these shots were taken too, which makes them even better.

Jeff, great shots. I was going to aask for the settings,but got to the bottom and saw you posted them. I too love night shots, just not good at it yet. I've done a few, but don't have many chances here. I'll do a ton once I get home. Keep up the good work.

Wow, I really love the second one. The sky is reflecting the lights, way coolness...

JEFFB · Jul 15, 2005

Thank you all very much.

There was one of those spot lights, well 4 of them to be exact, shining up from the city, and moving around the sky, I think that has a lot to do with how that sky, along with the 10sec shutter, turned out. I'm quite pleased with those shots.
