    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

    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.

    wow this is simply fabulous!!

    Welcome to the Compact Group – I can’t get night shots with my compact :( not like this anyway!

  • morpheus71

    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!
