That shot taken from the Penthouse Andrew???

Thanks for all the info Getlemen... I will take some advice on board and give it a go. I am also going to do a night course for a few weeks at a local high school and pick up some tips. Nice photos Brendan and Andrew.

One last question. From what i have gathered, it is almost impossible to take a night shot of a moving aircraft/object with a light trail behind it?

Nah - just the 35th floor. Geez it was high up...:eek:

Tony, its not impossible, just tricky. Use a high ISO (3200 +) and a low shutter speed, and very good steady panning. With camera technology coming along rather well I am sure we will see a vast improvement in images at low light, ie Canon 5D mk II

Cool shots. Thanks for the effort of posting them on Brenden.

Only took me 30 mins to go through 16 or so pages.... of 1400 images

Plenty of time no doubt :P

Shouldn't you be studying? ;)

Yes, only 3 CASA engineering exams.... I better study before I get booted off the course....
