I just love No. 1! (OK, maybe it could use a bit of selective sharpening on the tower thing) but the composition, colors, and everything else for that matter are great

Thanks so much everyone I'll work on the sharpening Joe

I would'nt say they were fair shots, i would say they were brilliant! no seriously, i love #1 what were your settings on these amanda?

Thanks dalebe On each of these I set it on manual and used a bulb exposure with a cable release and tripod. I did the sort of guessing game with it and just held the shutter open until I figured it was sufficiently exposed. After shooting the first couple I could pretty well guess how long was needed for each, but I did between 1-3 shots of each to have more to work with. By using the bulb exposure it was nice and easy to close the shutter when someone would just decide to walk and then stop right in front of you as well Oh and the aperature was set at 22 for each, and ISO was 100.

thanks for sharing amanda, i've yet to use bulb exposure, you have certainly inspired me, i have'nt got a cable release yet but it's on my list of to gets
