Melbourne by Night Photo

Photographer’s Note

Another night shot of down town Melbourne, shot from the St. Kilda Bridge looking North East.

St. Paul's Cathedral and Federation square can be seen on the left. North bank of the river Yarra can be seen in the foreground.

Again, I passed the photo through Noiseware for noise reduction.

Hi Behram, sorry but for me the colours in this are too unnatural. Personal taste I suppose. There is also a bit of lens distortion (see the slope on the cathedral), which I think would be better corrected, and that strange reflection towards the left detracts too. (BTW although St Kilda Rd passes over the bridge, it is called Princes Bridge). cheers, Steve

Hi Benram
If you zoom in on the reflection in front of the yellow boat, there is a very clear picture of a person. Also the reflection to the left.,if you turn you photo upside down I can see another person. Maybe ghosts of people that have drowned in the Yarra.XFILES

Hi Behram

this is a very good night shot with fine details and extreme good sharpness, the reflexes are well captured and the the coposition is very fine.
I don't want to comment about the ghosts Hubba found, or even the reflexes, I like the overall image, maybe the diffuse cathedral is because of the noise treatment..
