Reflections of the Night

Annie Metcalfe @blueace has challenged me to take some night time shots with a bonus if stars and the moon are involved.
No bonus here, and I am not really happy with my attempts yet. Looks pretty with the lights and reflections, but I want to do a deeper, darker night shot - perhaps at the old driveshed on our farm. Must figure that out!

Here's my first attempt at night photography - had to use some lights to get a good shot. Want to figure out how to do this using more ambient light - and stars!

You have some lovely light on the water here and Iike the way the streetlights look like stars.

I like the colours and the reflections here, but there's perhaps too much darkness to the left and bottom so you might want to think about cropping that down. I agree with Paul that the streetlights are almost like stars

[Pat Knowles]

That is a hard challenge Wendy but you have done well here. No moon or stars but starry lights!

[Granagringa]

Good start on the challenge. I agree with what's been said above. Good luck with this.

[Wendy]

@blueace Will try cropping - thanks!

[David]

Don't the star busts count for half a bonus point?

[bkb in the city]

Well done

[Stephanie]

I think this is beautiful Wendy, fav. Such a clever idea to do not only a street scene but to also capture the refections as well.

[Brett]

An excellent photo indeed Wendy - I really enjoy reflections! Thanks for the follow and I am returning the follow and enjoying your portfolio and looking forward to you upcoming photos!

[Anne ❀]

ditto all the above. beautiful!

[Francesca Ciarrocchi]

I found it amazing! Great reflenctions and lights!

[Jacqui Jay]

How slow a shutter speed did you use, Wendy?
I love the movement in the reflections in the water.
I agree with the comment about cropping ... try a letterbox and straighten your horizon ... you've got a keeper there.
