Cool shots Simone, I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds challenge shots before and after the event

Love those reflections shots, SeeMoon. :nod It took me a bit to realize what I was looking at in the first one.

Here are some things I found helpful for long exposures: try using a neutral density filter if you want traffic trails. My G3 has an internal one. With the dSLR I'll have to buy some to put on the lenses. The filter doesn't change anything but the amount of light that gets in. It allows you to do long exposures, get great traffic trails, without overexposing anything. The other thing I found handy was shooting one exposure for the sky and another for the ground, then combining them. It's a way to get the best of both worlds.

Thanks! Just what i needed! I even have a filter like that, now i know where to use it for. :rofl (gave away my haircolor..again!)

The reflection was made hanging out of the window of the 11th floor; camerastrap around my neck!
