8.29p.m. - This wonderful section of Tutong Road is just in front of the Palace. After taking the shot that you just saw on my last post I looked to the left and found this canopy of lights interesting. I decided to use a longer exposure so that I would have the red streaks of light from the rear light of passing cars to add more colours into my composition. It’s quite an experience driving through this canopy.

PP – Slight cropping and sharpening plus adjusting level.

Hi Aloysius
A very fine capture of this impressive canopy of light - Its almost like x-mass streets here in December - but this one better - I like the effect of the tail light - thanks for sharing this good job.

Hi Aloysius
What a lightshow. Nice picture to see. Well captured.

Hi Aloysius
Another beautifully delicate composition! Great exposure - I think the streaks from the cars add an interesting feature and help lead the eye through the canopy of lights above.
Regards, Sarah

Hi Aloysius,
A scene that canoot be seen everyday. All these lit serial lights does give a look of a specially lit up canopy. A superb capture with nice POV. the organizers would have taken great troubles to get to this wonderful effect. What was the occasion? It is good that you had your camera handy...:) I should be carrying my camera with me too...always.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful shot

Hi Aloysius,
Wow! What a powerful composition. This is an astounding night shot, with the coloured canopy of lights overhanging the roadway. As your note indicates, it must be quite an experience driving it. I like you perfect exposure settings here. The scene is vivid without being gaudy. Very well captured, Aloysius.
John

Wow Aloysius! I bet is most memorable driving through that. What's amazing is how far it keeps going off into the distance! Excellent shot Aloysius!

Hello Aloysius,
C'est très impressionnant!
Bravo pour cette vue aux lumières spectaculaires!
Les feux rouges arrières des voitures ajoutent un plus à cette photo.
Well done!

Wow wee this is gorgous light. I love how it swoops in endless flowing lines of delight. Amazing photo Aloysius in every way. Your city sure knows how to party and celebrate.

Hi Aloysius,
Another nice one where the many lights bring the festive dimension, the road adds the perspective, well underlined and amplified by the red traces the card left, great night view here again.
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Very rich composition by the lights, and good technic by the time of exposure. This is a success...
I like the composition.

Hi Aloysius,
Great shot and nice work of long exposure. You got really beautiful and vibrant colours. I liked you added the red lights from the passing cars. It gives a nice sensation of a stream of light suspended above the ground.
Very well done.

Hi Aloysius,
Great reportage of night shot. Difficult to choose the first (and best?) one to critique. This "rain of lights" leaps to my eyes. Excellent result !
groet Rob

Great - really nice scene & the exposure has worked perfectly. Getting the car's tail lights into the frame gives a nice effect.

A very nice and sharp night photo of this lighted place. Good POV and the lights look endless in this street.

Wow! Simply superb. Glittering pathway. Good one.

Hi Aloysius,
