sorry about the colour banding - i'm still learning and the exposure was too long and too underexposed on a couple, hence the noise & banding

Great photographs. 3,5,7 are my favourites. Especially the last one.

I love the 6th photograth!!!!

What shutter speed did you have the London Eye photo on??? because it doesnt go round that fast but yet you've created fast effect!!!

Brill... Great effect

I like the South Bank - I was walking along there yesteday night and I saw someone with a 350D taking night shots - it might have been you?? I think they all look great, very difficult to get the exposure spot-on. The colour in your houses of parliament looks a bit yellow?

Here's my version:

Is that last building a Jedi pub?

Nice shots, if a tad over exposed in places and suffering from an overcast night creating orange skies.

Really like those mate, awsome shots indeed. I like the eye photo, and the last shot. really well captured

Fantastic shots there! I want to go to the South Bank now and see what I can come up with. Won't be up to par with your efforts though!

If you replace "muse of Trology" with
"Star Wars Trilogy"

Then yes I think it is !

Pictures 5 and 6 are the ones that do it for me

in fact #5 could be a postcard

Richard T · 17 Jan 2006 at 09:16

great shots there mate... hmmm me think me got to go out and try some of this

MrSix · 17 Jan 2006 at 16:07

I do like city long exposures, good job with these - just get out and practice more

They are indeed good, and i also love taking them - however the one thing i worry about is wandering into dodgy areas or just getting mugged, i dont fancy a kicking, or having my gear nicked.

I really like no6 but i would have cloned out the tower crane it spoils it a bit.

so true. The last one was taken behind the OXO tower, and was in an empty courtyard. When I first walked in there were 2 seriously dodgy looking blokes hanging around, so did an about turn and went back half an hour later when the coast was clear.

You do have to be careful walking about at night with almost a grand of kit :eek:

Lovely! Especially no.4!! Is Big Ben a bit wonky though - perhaps rotate a degree or two counterclockwise.

I want to get down to the South Bank for some night photography during a weeknight (rather than busy weekends) at some point

you say your still learning...can't be much more to learn with shots like those! absolutely great imo...onviously theres one or two things that aren't quite there...and for that i'd advise you do what i do with shooting on my EOS...shoot in RAW...if you end up with some minor imperfections, you can simply make them vanish in PS whilst processing them, whats more RAW is far higher quality and theres a load more to say about it...just make sure you've got at least 1gb CF cards!

anyway...nice shots, and good luck with the 350d...canon ***
