Great little light show there, :-P...I'm curious, how is it that you get your night shots like this?

AdamPowell In reply to MikeVisetsouk [2006-08-16 06:25:21 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much. My night shots are usually with a 5-30 second exposure..

MikeVisetsouk In reply to AdamPowell [2006-08-16 23:22:15 +0000 UTC]

Ah.. Last time I did a long exposure, it sort of negated the colors, but I might of just held on too long.

Are you kidding me??!! Hell yeah this is good enough to post up. I LOVE long exposure shots. It can be of the simplest thing, and I would still like it. This is definitely one of the best I've ever seen. I just love capturing water, especially at a long exposure. This is such a great picture. The colors are so vibrant and rich. The lighting is perfect. And you have it perfectly centered. You are such a talented photographer! Honostly, I have come across some great ones, but you are by far one of the best. I totally mean that. Great job! Your gallery is really nice. I'm definitely coming back to check out your new stuff. I'm gonna add you on my friends list. I'd love it if you checked out my gallery and let me know what you thought about my pics. Great job again!

How did you get the lights to turn into stars like that? I have been trying to figure that out for a while but it seems that no matter how stable my tripod is I can't produce the same effect.

AdamPowell In reply to jun0 [2004-11-01 00:53:31 +0000 UTC]

it has a lot to do with my camera... some cameras dont produce the Star-Looking light.... i sometimes dont always like it :d ....

welder [2004-10-19 16:18:58 +0000 UTC]

Very nice shot. My main critique would be that the fountain is not perfectly centered...if you look at the left and right edges of the photo there's a bit more space on the left. And in the bottom left corner the edge of the fountain is visible. It's not off by a lot, but enough I think to disrupt the feeling of symmetry in the image slightly...maybe some cropping could help. But overall I like the shot, a great night scene.

stellar capture my friend.

..the colors and hues in this are ..fucking brilliant

one thing, I wish I could see more from the bottom of this image..it seems too cut off or abrupt there, like maybe if you could see the entire circle from the fountain..I dunno..

..really nicely captured though

lol no problem, that's funny about thinking that after you left.. however it is still very nicely done and you knooow iT

..I would say maybe try and snag another capture of it w/more of the bottom showing, but I know how much I hate re-shooting things I have already done..so I couldn't ask you to
