here is a uncompressed shot of the first, i really liked that one, i used a shutter of 30 seconds and a Fstop of 8.

Beautiful pics  8-)

I love Holland  :)

I'm in Leiden every weekday..... It's where I take the train to Amsterdam ( and where my school is)

Lovely pics!

I always like the star effect on the lights at night. The other two you obviously had a wider aperture since the lights were all round. Try and always use a small F-stop at night, makes the image look really cool  ;D

Yup, i indeed used a wider aperature, it also seems the images gains more noise and jittering when i use a smaller fstop. first image had a 30 second shutter and a Fstop of 8 .

I also go too Leiden everyday, i cycle too it from Voorhout and then take the train to Utrecht.

Heh, i never knew that, pretty cool!

The camera is a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ-8. I saw the FZ-18 today at the V&D(90 degree too the right of me in the pic) wich looked quite interesting, although rather expensive to just do as a upgrade.

Hey we have the same camera! Which mode did you use? Going to take my cam with me to Amsterdam one of these days

Manual as always, except for the White balance, i didnt have any white card or something similair so i kept it on auto. the ISO used was 100. To avoid noise. I also used a tripod to keep it steady and a 2 second time so the camera wouldnt move too much. Although it could have moved a bit since, my friends were there too and were walking around.

Nice shots Pepper. I'd personally go for the last shot, that one has the right amount of light to me. The first one is just a bit much I think. And perhaps you could level the shots?  ;)

Oh dear, I've become infected by the digital photography forum I visit. Those guys are strict, but they deliver quality and challenge you to raise your standards...

Indeed, i just looked at them again, and i indeed found the first one too bright, although i still really like it, never got a good chance to do this kind of photography with long shutters.

That's part of the fun, experimenting.  ;)

Indeed, my friends standing nearby said the whole would be ruined with such long shutters, when i showed them the result(a minute after pushing the shutter release ) they were quite impressed by the results. I personaly like how the water came out but aint too happy with the lightning. Doesnt matter though, i can mess about with it in a RAW editing program.
