As it was getting dark at the botanical garden, the unique lighting made for some interesting shots. This is the base of one of the light poles. To obtain the correct exposure, I had to underexpose a full 5/3 stops; that also helped bring the shutter speed up to (that's right...UP to) 1/13 of a second...and at ISO 1600! No tripod here, though...just my steady hand.
I'm always partial to orange/blue contrast. ;)

This is the ceiling in your dining room and you hung it upside-down, right?

Awesome contrast of colors. Any Photoshop?

yeah man... those orange/blues are fantastic!

I like the orange/blue color scheme, too. Very cool lights there at the gardens. At first glance, I thought those three lights were candles.

very nice, loving the orange/blue contrasts; always a good color combination :). I think I'm going to have to take a trip to the botanical gardens here at home now ;)

Beautifully done. I love the mood from the colors.

That's an amazing shot just for that colour palette alone.

Great colors. I'm surprised you got that clarity without a tripod.
