Full Moon at The Bund

I took this on a clear night. I could have made the streaks smooth by

setting a longer exposure. I thought it would be different to see

discrete lines for a change. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks for

viewing.

Very nicely composed, and appealingly colorful. The length of the lights in the street works for me, too. To my eye the shorter dashes serve to break up the length of the street, as do the various different buidlings along the way.

 

Given the chance to shoot it again, I'd love to see it about half an hour after sunset, so you could use the same exposure settings, but have a deep blue sky.

 

It looks to me like the moon is added. The composition looks to me like it's shot with something on the order of a 28-35mm lens, but the moon looks like it was shot with a short telephoto. It looks unnaturally large in the sky--but it's nicely done nonetheless, and does help balance the composition. Maybe it would fit better with more of an amber hue to it, to play off the warm colors of the lighted buildings.

 

Very nice work!

Great composition, I love the color and light. Well Done!

Full of colors and I like the opposites of the romantic sky, crowned for a full moon, and the nervous, chaotic land, with hasty its rhythm.

Very Beautiful; I like all those lights!

Excellent night shot; so perfectly exposed!

I'm second-guessing my assessment that the moon was Photoshopped in. The photograph doesn't look so wide angle after all, now that I return to it. Is that real? It does look impressive! Almost too good to be true, you know?

You must be also at a high angle to take this shot. Nicely done Andrew.

Nice pic Andrew! Very well done

Excellent night shot ...

I agree that the moon is added. Long exposure for street and short for the moon. But still a very nice picture!

 

great composition with perfect lighting. the moon on the right and the light of the buildings all make the city at night very much alive. very well done Andrew.

I like Shanghai and your shot.

Very nice night shot. It has beautiful colors and sharpness. Very well done and thanks for sharing!

Very good exposure, light and composition. I like the broken streaks of car lights,rather than long lines obtained with long exposure. The full moon is bonus.Well done,Andrew.

Excellent!
