Night shots in Birmingham

[Wobbly Dave]

Big thanks to Viking for getting his camera out.
We went down a similar route with these shots as with the Viking longboat. The twinkly trees are in Brindley place, the second are outside the new Selfridges (careless parking) - then in the Selly Oak train station car park.

I have tried night shots with my own 35mm SLR but could never get the exposure and depth of field correct due to the v low light levels. Viking's supa-doopa digital was able to get most of what we aimed for.

ps Viking - if you look carefully you will see I made the parking sign pole disappear (but can you spot which foto?)

Anyway - I am thrilled with these...

Viking took the pics - I then framed them up and digitally tweaked them - a team effort.

Very nice job by both of you.
Birmingham seems to be improving. I didn't see a van load of police in any of them shots

great shots, cars looks lovely and a great camera too... when i get some pennies together i am saving up for the 350d... what other toys were you using? i presume a tripod for one!

[BigJC]

Wobbly, you should have at least cleaned the car before the pictures were taken

Rich, maybe a career in photography beckons? Whack some pics into photo editors of mags like TG or EVO, you never know!

Great pictures there! They look like they could have come straight out of a sales brochure for Volvo

[Wobbly Dave]

Sorry Officer. Accident prevention (cause less accidents on the road - park on the pavement!!).

Presta fast wax is what I use btw.

I was very pleased with the selfridges, particularly as it is a flashing sign - so you have to pick the moment.

Superb pics, and lovely car Dave I'd completely forgotten that conversation about the CD changer that you had with Jen until a few minutes ago ... that trip we were on to Gatwick took 4 hours, via the Dartford tunnel, due to a diversion! I'd almost successfully wiped all recollection of it from memory .. but damn, nice car
