Brugge again - so many photo opportunities in this city it is difficult to know when to stop. Another night shot with the IXUS on full auto (I'm giving away all my secrets now!) resting on a suitably positioned railing. The Fairy Castle is in fact a hotel. I did have to run the shot through Neat Image to reduce the noise a little. I hope it's not too obvious.

Your timing with this was great, as the lighting in the sky is still strong enough to show the colours there, but the artifcial lighting from the buildings shows them very well too. This is probably much more interesting than a daytime shot of the same place would be. Masterful technique and a beautiful shot!

Dear Mr. Broglia,
Yes this is truly Brugge and fortunately Brugge again! And oh i know this place so well, Minnewasser - Lake of Lovers, a perfect place for rejuvenating your soul.
Your photo perfectly reveals its immense beauty and tranquility, your selection of timing, especially the blue hour, and those reflections make this a marvellous photo. I very much appreciate your post. TFS.

ps: Neatimage is a bit obvious, especially at the left part of the lake, but who cares! Much better than noise and useful to create a fairy tale effect.
Cheers,
Deniz

A picture of Brugge, again, but this time not so far from the Beguinage.
Reflections on the water are good, and colours of the sky not too dark.
Good job,
Nico.
