    Fantastic. Great long shutter, the lights are like little twinkly stars. I love the long shutter you’ve used to get the silky effect on the water as well, but what’s that UFO?

      Is it shot at f/22 or something like that?

        Cool, enjoy your Friday night Paula.
        Looks like it’s “open a bottle of wine and sit down and relax” o’clock here now!

      Be well, Paula, and resist age! Hard to do as it encroaches on the life we once new, and the capacities we once had.

      I too love the way the lights have become stars, and I’m always charmed by diagonals and reflections. You’ve served me up a Saturday morning pleasure, and made Bratislava look ever more inviting.

    Your exposure is just perfect, it’s a fantastic night capture Paula. M83 is a nice choice to accompany the photo. Have a nice evening.

      You’ve recognised them!! Thank you so much, Mark. I am off to Tuscany on Wednesday, and will be back by 12th of October. It will be the time for me to get acquainted with my new camera canon eos 70D, since 60D died on me suddenly while still a baby. Thank you for the compliment. It always means a lot. Enjoy your Sunday afternoon 🙂

        Wow two pieces of exciting news. A beautiful trip and a new companion, a wonderful new camera. I can’t think of a better way to break in a new camera. I’m looking forward to seeing a few photos in future posts. Have a safe trip and have a great time.

      That’s good to hear, as I value your opinion Ron :), I hope I will be able to enjoy muddy and wet Tuscany. The weather forecast does not look very good. At least there will be mushrooms to photograph – I am good with those 😀
