Default London Precinct, Nightime (DL3)

Might be criticised for not working on the image or not taking another but here's a single frame as it came out of the camera a few nights ago:

D-Lux 3, 16:9, 1s, f 6.8, ISO 100, Image stabiliser mode 2 engaged. Uncorrected image from Lightroom, re-sized in PS2. Handheld

Robert,

nice shot, but...

I'm sure an M8 and Noctilux would have left the image several thousand pounds lighter

Thought I'd made an error with the EXIF data - should be f2.8 @ 1s, 6.3mm, ASA100

Robert,
At first glance this is an unremarkable shot but for some reason I really like it, maybe just for it's straightforward simplicity, imho, it's one of those that just "works". Pretty good stuff from what seems to be a very competent digi-cam too.
Perhaps slicing a bit off the right hand side improves the composition?
Glad to see that I'm not the only one who thinks in ASA instead of ISO- this Metric system- it'll never catch on!

Pete Kamil and Ed

Thanks for your kind comments - I deliberately did nothing to the image other than re-sizing and saving it for the web in CS as a jpeg

The original RAW file seems to have richer colours and conveys the atmosphere a little better - Pete I think you're probably right about a right-side crop but I left it as was to show how well the image stabilizer did at 1s, which was my real reason for posting - even the edge is at least ok sharpness wise for posting purposes.

I really needed some fog and some guys in cloaks for effect..

Hi Robert,

I agree, there is 'something' about this image. I often think London scenes at night look like they are film sets - this captures the atmosphere for me.

Hi James

Thanks for your kind comments - I just snapped it to see what would happen but I was pleased how the overall sense of darkness stayed in the photo, as well as how well it steadied the image for a 1s exposure.
