Here are a few of the 300 + pics i took along the Yarra river (Melbourne) on the sunday night prior to the Commonwealth games starting
I had trouble with the light as workmen were still positioning the flag/floats and the lights on the Fish were being tested by being switched on and off,,,,, usually whilst i had the camera set to a time exposure !!
ah well it's all practice i suppose
All taken with D2x and Sigma 15-30/Nikon 24-120



Just on Sunset No pink in the sky darn it !!
Image
I liked the moon effect in this one
Image
I left the rubbish bins/people etc in this as i liked the overall effect
Image
In the foreground are the flag/floats yet to be positioned next to their relevent ''fish''

Second last one would be the pick for me, nice exposure, sharp and I like the people and bins, it gives it a sense or reality.

Nicely done.

Nice set of images. In particular I like the second (the moon glow through the whispy clouds, great) and third.
cheers

Thanks for the positive feedback ,this was my first ''digital'' night outing of any substance and confess i had trouble with people walking into me in the dark even though i positioned myself away from walkways etc , plus it is really hard to line things up in the dark for me, but i must give credit to the camera the D2X really is an absolute joy to use
