Dear friends,
here is a shot from a visit to Buckden in Cambridgeshire earlier in the year.

This is Church street just before the junction with the High road seen just ahead.

Taken on my way back to the room after shooting St. Mary's which is just a short walk behind me in this POV.

I find the intensity from the blue in the sky fascinating -- and especially how a strong influence from it can be seen/felt in the road - mid foreground.
In setting up for the shot I really do not remember if this colour interaction was that obvious at the time.
But now, looking at these results it further confirms my observation that at night the camera sees better than us.

To enhance this I raised the saturation just a little, as well as some USM.

Thanks again for your feedback :-)

The clarity of this is simply stunning -- everything is so sharp!
And i Love your gentle night-time moods with the hidden energy -- only just barely hidden in the lights that whipped past you
Great stuff! Keep 'em coming :)

Hi Daniel,
This is a great shot and the sharpness is perfect, your certainly a dab hand at these night shots, what amazes me the most here is the blue sky and the details that you have captured.
How do you work out your exposure for a shot like this?
Well done
Regards Andy

Hello Daniel. Excellent shot. I like the motion of the car lights along the street, usually part of a night time shot, and a blue sky. A rare if not unique combination. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Daniel
Colours and composition are excellent, mut imo it is to much sharpened. It gives an unnatural feeling, something like a penn drawing.
Well it is just my honest opinion

hi Daniel

Really very nicely exposed view with effective 26s to show the clarity and sharpness and the motion of light. The blue hour in the sky is a good contrast.

Hi Daniel
There is a time after the sun has set that is almost magical giving off a gorgeous blue and you are obviously mostly set for that time for your shots as your skies are always facinating. Another beauty.

Amazing photo! Good colours and movement!

Hi Daniël,

I see you don't need water to make a picture with impact.
This one is indeed also wonderful and the colours very intense.
Thanks for another inspirational picture!

Els

PS 26 seconds!, that I can not do, but slowly I start to experiment, you really now can follow that car along the whole of the street.

The night sky intensity is stunning and tells us not to put our camera away at night. Thanks for the prompt. Karin

Hi Daniel,

Very well exposed shot at f/7.1. Sharp lines and very good clarity in the sky. The streak of a car's tail light is a good touch for the image. Very well adjusted colour saturation.

TFS.

Hi Daniel,

Something different from your usual shots, but nevertheless excellent. I like the angle of the shot, which gives a nice lead in, as well as the handling of all the light sources. Quite a task.

A pleasant street scenery with the picturesque houses after dark!

Hi Daniel!
Wonderful street. Nice colors. Fantastic lightness. Good POV, very good capture.
Cheers!

Hello Daniel,

I have to agree with you. The camera certainly sees better than us, we just have to make sure that it records the part we want!

The colours are very evident in this superb shot! I agree with you about the the richness of blue in the sky, and purple of the road but what appealed to me from the outset was the overall coziness created by the warmthi n the buildings. The protecting star on the right is very comforting!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)
