Bags riding shotgun.

Gus: Are you using a tripod? Maybe it's time to invest in a cable shutter release so you don't get camera shake with your night shots. Cheaper alternative to forking out big cash for a top shelf tripod.

well i usually use a tripod at night. but when u drive half an hour to the city, and realise you forgot the tripod you kinda don't feel like driving back jsut to get it.

solution, drive the your local canberra centre right up the doors where theres a million lights, tell the security guard your jsut getting some photos for a magazine n your all sweet. then watch everyone turn their head as they drive past wondering how the hell you got up there.

i can't see us using that spot again. we went to the national museum once, if anyne has seen it it's got al these cool orange lights n stuff which we decided to drive 3 cars up into, (front doors basically) turns out mr security wasn't to happy)

canberra is a bit of an annoying place to try find good spots that people haven't been to before. sucks big time.

Jack88's R33.

This one below is massively edited...1) because it was so dark in the first place that it looked pretty shit in the first place. Thats cos i was mucking around with settings trying to get the aperture and shutter speed right. and 2) just for some fun haha.

I don't know if it 'works' or not.

And a couple of the view:

Great work there.

Can you tell us how you acheived this HDR.

That is the PP after merging few photos. As in tone mapping etc..

[Basti]

High Dynamic Range, where you take 3 pics of the same thing at low, normal, and high exposure and then blend them into one image.

Or if you want to get really messy you can take 2 under, 1 normal and 2 over but that's getting a bit out there. :(

[Sl!m]

Thanks

I took 3 photos (underexposed, normal, overexposed), and used an app called photomatix to merge them together. I could never get HDR's to work in Photoshop, but it's pretty easy with photomatix.
