GKPE: Auckland Cityscape at Night

Here is another one from the Great Kiwi POTN Expedition:

This one is after everyone had gone home; Scott and I thought we would have a few shots at the city at night.

I intentionally over exposed to see what happened, I love the result esspecially the relfections in the water, will now go looking for some better subject matter, and have a bit more of a play...

wow, interesting how the clouds look

Very cool Pete!

How did the shots of the Bridge come out?

Iv found that with night time shots you can get away with over exposing quite a bit, and actualy get more detail and colour out of the scene.
Which is exactly whats happened here.
The patterns in the water are very cool, I never knew there was that much colour in the city.

The bridge shots were interesting, I didn't post any, as ScottNZ already did a really nice one. The interesting part was the effect your suggested changes in aperture had on the images, both were shot on my 28-105 @ 60mm on a tripod.

The first one was shot wide open at f/4 (2.5s):

I love the pictures. Any PS work?

Superb colours. Really interesting clouds. Nice one !

The first shot is awesome. Very nice feel to it.

No PS work apart from a resize, some white balance ans slight exposure correction in the RAW conversion though.
