Ghent

[Stravinsky]

A place where you cant get away from the students, even late at night when they all seem to appear from nowhere

I find your night photographs very satisfying to view,  the colour of the sky really sets of the mood of the image.  I can imagine being sat there on a warm evening with a cold beer in hand chatting to friends.

That’s a superb photo Strav ... I just love that twilight time after the sun has dipped beneath the horizon still bequeathing us with remnants of her glory ...  just beautiful... Denis is right ...  you really excel with your nighttime photography ...

I very much agree with the cold beer suggestion from Denis.

Great work as always!

I can't add to what has already been said except for a good dose of admiration.

Thanks so much .... I must admit I usually tend to take shots in the complete dark, but for once I was able to get out at the right time ... and as a bonus I didn't forget to turn the IS off on my lens

Ditto others comments. Stunning. What is IS that you didn’t forget to turn off?

Fabulous light captured beautifully

It's the image stabiliser function on the lens. It helps when you are taking low light shots as you can "gain" a stop or two, but when you use it on a tripod for long exposure shots the motor in the lens is running all the time you are taking that shot so it causes blurring.  So IS should always be turnd off when you are taking long exposure shots on the tripod

Another little gem of information... thanks

Absolutely perfect light in this one Strav, and a lovely scene too.
