Perth panorama
Here's a shot I took of the Perth skyline in the early evening from the South Perth foreshore.

it looks very professionally taken, you know what your doing
colour is very nice too and perth looks like a happening place.
Nicely done - well exposed without too much flare on the bright lights and the lovely glassy water. Perth is my favourite capital city and you've done it proud.

Hi Stephen, This photo was taken with a Canon 20D + EF 50mm f1.4 lens. Exposure settings were: Tv: 1 sec Av: f2.8 Metering Mode: Evaluative Metering ISO Speed: 100 White Balance Mode: Auto Hope that helps, but really it's just a matter of trying out different exposure settings to get the effect you're after. When you say your night shots are failing, what is wrong with them? "You don't take a photograph, you make it." ~ Ansel Adams
Well, there's nothing really wrong with your shots. The only tips I could give you are: - Definitely take off the UV filter for night shots. - don't crank up the ISO, otherwise the noise will ruin the image. Keep it at ISO 100 or 200. - use a self timer and mirror lock-up to prevent camera shake or use a remote shutter release. - use a *really* sturdy tripod - if it's a really windy night and your camera isn't sheltered or bolted down inside a concrete bunker, forget it! Pretty much all of your pics will end up blurry due to camera shake because of the wind. - play around with exposure settings - digital film is cheap! "You don't take a photograph, you make it." ~ Ansel Adams
Luckily no, it's not a dead or "hot" pixel. That is either a star or perhaps Mars/Venus which can be quite bright in the evening skies here in Perth. I'm sure the astronomy buffs in here might be able to help identify this thing! "You don't take a photograph, you make it." ~ Ansel Adams
Westcoast, I've seen worse
- nice shot!
I like the colour graduation in the sky from top to bottom, and the brightness from left to right, and of course the lights and reflections in the water. Well done! Cheers What's another word for "thesaurus"?
Well, this shot was taken waaay back last year 20/4/2005 at 6:24pm and I was facing north. I guess an astronomy program might be able to calculate what was in the night sky at that time? "You don't take a photograph, you make it." ~ Ansel Adams
OK, its Capella (alpha Aurigae) near the left edge, and beta Aurigae to its upper right, with pi Aur just below and to the right of it. You also have iota and kappa Ursa Majoris near the upper right corner, but they are barely recorded

Thanks Gordon!
Cool... they're stars... guess that makes the dots "hot" pixels after all! "You don't take a photograph, you make it." ~ Ansel Adams
Gordon - nobody likes a smartarse 
Cheers What's another word for "thesaurus"?
Digitor you crack me up!
Gordon thanks for the information, nice to have another astronomer on the board.. Westcoast, the more I view this the more I like it.
