She's looking clean, nightime shots are a bitch aren't they to get the lighting right!

Not too bad! Needs a little white balance correction though. Wish I had photoshop still so I could tinker with it lol

drjekl - Yes they are, it was fun to play and see how things turned out. I took them with ISO200 f/8 for a 30 second exposure for the first two, 10 for the third and 1 for the fourth.

GOTMH8N you are right that the pictures have the yellowness of the lamps. I kind of liked the effect, but looking at the colour corrected ones, I like these too...

GOTMH8N · 01-29-2013, 07:50 AM

Oh yaaaaa that looks spot on!

Yeah it throws more blue from the LEDs, which I think looks great against the red of the tails. Thanks for helping me
