A beautiful blue hour image of the two Tamar bridges Phil, wonderful perspective and the reflections of the Saltash lights look so pretty on the still water,
Regards, Rod.
morpheus71
Thanks Rod! Like the phrase ‘the blue hour’ – never really paid it much attention really until I got into trying out some light trails last autumn. Now I look forward to seeing that light each day and the way it makes the camera see colours so richly.
Pamela Jayne S...
wow this is simply fabulous!!
Welcome to the Compact Group – I can’t get night shots with my compact :( not like this anyway!
morpheus71
Thanks very much Pamela! This compact camera blows me away with what it can capture at night! Would highly recommend it – lots of DSLR features like exposure duration and apeture control, Program and manual settings. The only shortfall is 4X optical zoom – but I guess you can’t have everything – ha!
