Lightbulb Lights in the distance

Last weekend, I went to Putrajaya, took some pictures and showed some basics to my fiancee, Zue on how to take night shots. With only my old Olympus P&S and a tripod, her shots are quite good. I'm still trying to convince her to share them here at DPS.

Anyway... here are my shots. (The night shot from 'http://digital-photography-school.co...cket-ship.html' were taken on the same weekend)

This is the Darul Ehsan Palace and Seri Wawasan Bridge, taken from the Putrajaya Mosque.
Darul Ehsan Palace and Seri Wawasan Bridge

At the end of the road is the Malaysia's Prime Minister's office.
What's at the end?

Now, this on the other hand, is the Putrajaya Mosque and the Prime Minister's office, taken from the Seri Wawasan Bridge. The exact opposite location from the 1st shot.

These are what our friend Moayad would call Organic Photos. No PP were done to these SOOC shots other than rotate & crop. Night shots are the only ones that I'm currently satisfied without any PP.

Very nice...the 2nd/3rd are my fav, just because there's more "light" in the photo. Love the reflection on the last one.

these are great. I have yet to master night shots - yours are beautiful and sharp and clear. I also like the last light coming through the clouds in the first shot.

So beautiful. I love that third one, with the shapes of the buildings, the stars of light and the reflections. Thanks for posting them!

Hi Sparda! love the lights! you are making the wait for my DSLR a bit harder than the way it is..i like the perspective of the second shot and the way it leads the eye the Prime Minister's house..the architecture,composition and reflections of the third one are equally appealing to the eyes..

Note: Hi Zue! hope you can share your shots..give Sparda a run for his money..
