Night on the Town

[Geordie Jester]

Tried some long exposures at dusk the other night.

10s ISO100 f6.3


Millenium Bridge and Baltic gallery.

..and one of just the bridge...

That is really nice.

It never looked that the last I was there, must go back soon.

thanks.

as I expected, the images are a bit noisy with not having a larger Dslr sensor. I am considering a noise removal tool. I have tried the demo of NeatImage and have been impressed when treating patches of this image. The Baltic brickwork is cleaned up nicely. Might make a purchase for improving images like this !

Anyone have experience of any of the free noise tools ? such as AbsoluteDeNoiser ?

Nice shot Geordie Jester. Like how you've captured the dark blue sky.

I use Noiseware Community edition. It is a free download and works really well with my images. Can't help with AbsoluteDeNoiser as I've never needed it.

Thanks for that. I will have a go of Noiseware.

The dark blue sky is just timing really......waiting until there is only a little bit light left in the sky to give a bit of colour.

Great shot, you've done well to keep it sharp on a long exposure. You can be rock stready but that bridge bounces like heck!

hehe....you are right there! I took a few there just hoping I picked a less bouncy spell, and a few more just off the bridge on terra firma!

The clear blue skies at sunset had attracted loads of photographers down to the quayside. There were a handful up by the Sage shooting towards the Tyne bridge and sunset, then four or five more dotted around all with tripods.

Noiseware is very impressive. I am getting some nice results with it.

Probably need to upgrade to the pukka version now though as the demo one not being a plug-in results in an extra save/compression (jpg'ing a jpg)
