More stormy weather headed this way.

I am quite pleased with the contrast, color and mood of this shot, though I'm not sure if it's any good or not. Kind of an experiment. I love shots with contrasting blues against yellows or oranges. I have some more ideas for some night shots employing a blue/yellow theme.

I forgot to mention yesterday that photographs going back about a month can now be viewed in the larger size. The exif data goes back a little further, almost to the beginning of February.

yeah i like the atmosphere, and contrast.

it seems a bit noisy fro iso 200, did you brighten it a lot?

Yeah, I thought the same thing. The noise is a product of post-processing (lots of brightness/contrast).

I like it, I think the noise adds something to it. I was taking a few ISO 800 pics a couple of days ago, and I liked the affect (even if the pictures were no good :P).

Ryan,

have you tried Neat Image, for noise busting?

there is a free version, and a photoshop plugin version.

i use it but it takes about 8 minutes to clean an image, so only for the ones its worth.

No, I havn't tried it. I'll look into it. I could have done a lot more noise reduction in the RAW processing in PS, but I decided not too.

Like Mark said, sometimes you want noise.

I really like the blue in this one, if there was a rating i would rate it 5 :D

I like the noise; it's a cool effect. The stark-looking street light is cool as well.
