Challenge: Night Shot IV (Basic Editing)
Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM for Nikon
Location: Coronado Bridge, San Diego
Date: Apr 10, 2007
Aperture: f/14
ISO: 100
Shutter: 20 sec.
Galleries: Cityscape
Date Uploaded: Apr 10, 2007

 Very simple setup: Camera on tripod, very wide lens allowed me to stay just one foot away from this boat, cable shatter release and my underwater flashlight.
Painting with light is a lot of fun, requires several attempts until you get it right.

I like the additional lighting on the white boat in the foreground. Marking as a favorite - hopefully you can post a comment about how you did that. (Headlights, or perhaps some painting with a flashlight?)

i would have voted this higher if i could have come to terms with the bridge behind that looks like it will fall arse over head at any time now.

Hope this gets the blue. This is just spectacular. Will be interested to know how you did the lighting in front - obviously not just a fill flash. Some kind of spotlight?

Nice subject in the foreground and trailing to the background. Is the bridge really that wavy?

Fantastic image. Great colours, just the right amount of sharping. The lens distortion on the bridge is freaky!
