London at night

[Robclarke]

Hi,

Here I have my first go at night time long exposures. I would be grateful for critique both about the shot and pp tips.

Just curious... flickr says some of those shots were taken with a 10-22 but you don't have that in your sig. Did you borrow it? And was it the Canon or Sigma?

 

[Robclarke]

I have bought a10-20 on the classifieds on this forum. It is the Canon version. I haven't got round to updating my sig

I meant 10-22 in the post above.

Super set of nocturnal images, lovely colour and engaging viewpoints. They work for me!

Nice set. The white balance looks a bit off on the first to me?? Also, something to try next time if you do this shot again - I've seen some examples I like of these shots with some foreground interest - e.g. road markings. I can't quite find the example I've seen before, but this is close: http://www.flickr.com/photos/52758582@N03/8193399769/

Great thanks for the comments. I think you are right about the white balance. I noticed that the colours were different to other shots from the same place I think the white balance got thrown off by the bus going past.

Nice set..particularly like the last one. Night photography is an area I'm trying to master.

Thanks all it takes is a tripod, a remote release and learning to master the bulb mode and metering for long exposures.
