Nighttime Reflections by andycoleborn

Nighttime Reflections

Finally got to go to Canary Wharf when it was dark to take some long exposure shots. Went with Sangeeta who hogged the tripod meaning I was restricted to holding the camera as steady as possible on the floor for varying times between 5 and 25 seconds as I did some experimenting with shutter speeds and aperture settings..

Took some good shots and this is all good practice, would have stayed longer but it was getting cold and we were getting hungry.

This one is straight out of the camera, no tweaks, no crop..

Really enjoyed taking night shots and look forward to doing lots more now it's darker in the evening.. Pretty much more of the same here if you want to see some of the other pics taken tonight http://andycphotos.shutterfly.com/623
