Ahh, those are nice. You are having a lot of fun. You might try shooting just a little earlier when there is a bit of light still in the sky. That will tame the contrast and add some color of it's own when you hit the weather right.

These are of St Mary's Cathedral in Sydney. The lights are projected onto the Cathedral and the light changes every minute or so
I took 17 of them and am Posting 4 of them

I think that may be a good idea Ernie, so I'll keep that in mind the next time I take some night shots. That's one thing about photography, you learn something new every time you shoot

If these are your first night shots, you have a big problem. And that problem is, you have set the bar so incredibly high it is going to be extremely difficult to show improvement. The first three shots in my opinion are professional level photographs. The ones of the light show on the cathedral are very good shots and a terrific light show, but from my perspective doesn't have the impact of the first three

What a wonderful display of Sydney at night Garry. For your first night shots using available light, these are outstanding. Keep it up. :thumbup: :thumbup:
