Hi all,

This weekend I visited Amarinthos in Evia. After having a great time with friends in a seaside taverna, I could not resist grabbing my camera and taking some night shots.
I especially liked this one because the reflections are clear and you can even see stars in the sky.


Have a nice week and take care,
Constantinos

PS1: The Shutter Speed it was 10" (I don't know why is missing)

Well... I like night shots, in general. But only if there is a subject that is recognisable. Which, imo, is lacking here... these lights make a nice reflection, but that's about 3 % of the entire picture (that's only an estimation), and there actually is nothing to look at intentively.
Also, using f/3.5 creates a shallow dof which was only compensated for by the wide-angle zoom setting. I'd advise using f/8 or even f/16, with a slightly higher ISO and, of course, a longer exposure time. Noise will not be a problem, sharpness will be a lot better. Well, sharpness, I mean there would be more detail in the shot, Constantinos, not that the picture is unsharp.
Sorry for the "bad news", but I like to speak my mind; after all, this is a learning site. Anyway, as always, this is just my humble opinion. Don't lose any sleep over it ;o)
