I wouldn't have believed what a good job my little Ixus 860IS could do at night, but these shots amazed me (albeit I confess to a little Neat Image, cropping, resizing and sharepning).

In both cases, the camera was simply set on the railings at the side of the street - I hadn't been planning to rbing, nor was I geared up for, night-time photography!

1. Edinburgh Castle, taken from Princes Street

I like these, well done! If it were mine, I might take off a little from the bottom of the first one so the castle is not across the center of the image. I've never tried night shots, looks like a lot of fun!

Nice shots and pretty clean to


EOS 6d, 7dMKII, Tokina 11-16, Tokina 16-28, Sigma 70-200mm F/2.8, Sigma 17-50 F/2.8, Canon 24-70mm F/2.8L, Canon 70-200 F/2.8L, Mixed Speedlites and other stuff.

When it ceases to be fun, it will be time to walk away
