Challenge: Free Study 2008-08 (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Nikon D80
Lens: Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II
Location: Urunga, NSW Australia
Date: Aug 7, 2008
Aperture: 3.5
ISO: 1000
Shutter: 6 mins
Galleries: Landscape
Date Uploaded: Aug 8, 2008

 Urunga Heads Caravan Park, 9:30pm.

This was taken at ISO 1000 at an exposure of 6 mins. Quite heavily post processed (for me, anyway):

Heal spot brush to remove the billion or so hot pixels, dodge and burn, colour levels adjusted (independently on water and rocks), sharpen, save for web.

I now really hate the dodging I did along the top of the mountain range in the background, but I didn't save the psd at that stage, and I can't bear to do the editing again.

the water and rocks are perfect...the lights are a bit too much. would be a good one to have a graduated filter on, to tame down the lights.

This is a nice composition but it's too blown out.

The water and the foreground rocks are brilliant however the city lights are totally blown and very distracting.
