Melbourne by Night Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is an HDR composed of three exposures. The photos are taken from the South bank of the Yarra River, facing North. One can see the Melbourne Aquarium and the tall buildings behind it.

Since there was some cloud cover that day, I have got a nice orange-ish reflection from the clouds as well. There was no wind, so the reflections in the water are mirror-like.

After compiling the HDR, I had to pass it through Noiseware in order to get rid of the noise.

Hi Behram,
I love the twinkling lights and their reflections in the water. I also like the purple tones of the sky. Nice colours and sharpness. I also like your point of view, and your note is very informative.
Thanks for sharing!

Hi Behram,
This is where HDR is at its best, showing tones of city lights without overexposure. Beautiful colours. IMO that bridge is not very interesting. Maybe a better PoV could be found more to the right leaving the bridge off or mostly off the frame.
