Hey guys

Its now some times ago, I was on vacation to Italien. I took thoes pictures, and in my opinion they are pretty nice.

Tell me what you think, either in the 0/10 scala, or just from words both negative and positive (Would like both)


More pictures will come later

wow those are some beautiful post sunset photos and I see you were using a EOS 400D/XTI and it looks like you didn't have a tripod with you and had to put your camera on a railing or something . I really like the colors in all of the pics but I guess the composition isn't really good in some of them probably because you didn't use a tripod .
btw where in Italy were they taken?

Definitely some great work here

The only thing I hate about night photography is that the white balance is sometimes hard to get correct.
I hate seeing that "orngish" glow because the ISO is bumped up and then makes it look lighter than it actually this.
(This is why I tend NOT to to night photography haha)

These are definitely great!

It's easy to compensate by just the WB settings, you just have to be aware that sodium lights have an orange glow so set your camera to the incandescent setting, which will help to normalise the light to a more natural white.

I have forgotten how beautiful it actually is there.

Great photos !

lol - all you have to do is change the WB, it's not that hard

It's not just the light.
It's getting the Fstop, shutter speed and ISO to all be correct to give you the correct tone of black.
I hate when my blacks aren't black.

Meh I think night photos are amazing and fun. One of my most fav ways to take photos.

Just practice and change settings till you get the photo you want

Don't overexpose your photo's then

And yes, it is aboslutely the white balance setting, not anything else that determines how orange photos taken under sodium lights look like.
