Blustery Melbourne by Alistair Wilson
Had a hard time getting a long exposure without the tripod getting blown around too much, taken from the end of the St Kilda Pier looking back towards the CBD of Melbourne just shortly after sunset.

Good shot Alistair with the blurring of the boats adding that bit extra.
Thanks Derek, yeah couldn’t decide whether I liked the windy conditions or not but I think it does add a little something to it

looks great mate… as always….
I am moving back to Melbourne as of NOW pretty much… let me know when you want to head out next and I will tag along so I can learn from the master :)
Oh cool mate, haha dunno about master but I’ll do my best

Beautiful shot Alistair. I’ve made shots similar to this of Miami bay in Florida USA, I am tempted however to take this kind of shot with slow speeds a little earlier(right after sunset) to see if it may cut down on the motion. However this is still a very superior shot to most we see here. Great job again!
Thanks mate, yeah it’s fun experimenting I was using a few different shutter speeds to see the effect at this time
