 Hi all
 After a little bit of help here is my first picture post. Here is one from my collection that I am fairly happy with.
   Anybody who has been to Bendigo Victoria would be familar with this beautiful fountain commonly know as Charing Cross. It was shot at dusk with the kit lens. I have only played with the white balance in NC, other than that it is how it came out of the camera.
 Anyway hope you like, all comments welcome.Paul D

 Didn't work Paul.  Delete the space between the address and the second img tab.  
 Also always use preview before posting to make sure it works

Good Grief, only a man would make that sort of comment!
 Love the colours in the shot, very vibrant, just has a tad of a lean.
 Keep them coming!
 Cheers

 Hi Paul
I like your photo very much.  There is a lot of interestinbg things in it.
 For example, I like how the red, yellow and green traffic lights are on at the same time!
 Well done and thanks for sharing

 Paul
 Welcome.  A very good first post.  The motion blur works well and the colours are good too.  You can straighten the image (if you want to) in NC.  It's under Tools/Rotate - choose the last option in the menu.  Very easy to use - you just draw a line along the crooked edge that you want to be horizontal

 Wow, first post and it looks great! The colours are really striking and I like the car light trails going around the fountain (at least I assume they're car headlight trails?)... What was the exposure time? Aka Andrew

 Yes they are car trails, the fountain is located on a five way intersection with cars and trucks going everywhere. I kind of just fluked the light trails it was one of my first long exposure shots, the shot info tells me it was 15 seconds at F22.
