Near the steam clock one evening...
.. farther along...
.. a zoooomy shot to bring the distant background closer...
.. and even closer.
Commercial Buildings.
Moving on, the pierheads on another evening...
.. a sucker for a sunset...
.. with Noirmont in the distance.
A little later.
Another evening, another sky....
.. hmmmm....
.. yes, it is a bit much....
.. but here's something slightly different.While in charge of a little one (face obscured here by crude cartoon I hope gives you a giggle or more), I discovered that a 1 or 2 seconds long exposure niteshot can make for a nice portrait of some willing subject if you use the flash as well. With a tripod it would have worked out even better, without the background blurred by movement.
You get the person lit nice and clearly by the flash, and a postcard-like niteshot background. And, almost strangely, if they move a bit during the long exposure, you get a shadow effect which makes the background look like they're standing in front of a picture :)
I will experiment some more, perhaps intentionally moving the camera for some light trail effects while the person remains sharp by the much quicker burst of light from the flash.
