This is a very nice image.

Very nice Kani

Thanks for looking Richard.

Wonderful image.

This is a nice image Colin, I like the composition immensely plenty to keep the eye occupied.

Thanks James, I do have a few more of these images and in the future will try some other ideas, along this theme.

Thank you Tural it is a simple scene, just over that hill is the ocean.

So did my Granddad Marco, they make a great picture and i live the smell.

I like this Paul, my kind of picture.

So you metered the moon reflections that's an unusual shot I have done that with sunset reflections on the water before as they love to blow out. I'm really getting into night photography, you never know what you will get back with the long exposures, well you have an idea ;-)

This is the new edit, i have toned down the foreground a little too, i think it looks better for darkening down a bit so I appreciate the input.

I think that control is a lot easier when more light is available as in this shot

http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=14761492 but you almost end up with a tonemapped type image when the scene is this dark, there is little leeway to get a darker image without it looking drab in photoshop with this one. I have actually updated this shot a little but i am not sure how to post it in this window.

I used to go on Scooter runs to Skegness in my youth, are you talking about Jack Hargreeves that used to be on a programme called How?

Thank you Niki, I dropped my camera just after this shot.

Hello Stephen thanks for stopping by, what I normally do for a night exposure is set a 2.8 lens to iso 6400 and then calculate my way back for f stop I want to use. The light in the original picture is very patchy, the moon is to the side of me and there were a couple of boats out shrimping on the water, I don't mind a surreal look to my pictures in fact my leaning is that way, I will be honest with you I have wondered at times why a few of my night shots are so light, I do shoot in very dark places, very little light available.
