Description Description:
Here's a little gift for my beloved Nina Happy 14 month anniversary babe!! WOO HOO!!

Anyway, this is what the Sydney skyline looks like (from the 17th floor of the Mercure). The Centerpoint tower doesn't usually glow on an average night. Its only like that for two weeks after the New Year's Eve celebrations If you wanna see a wider angle of that skyline check out either Sepia Skyline or Sydney Skyline


Notes:
This photo was taken on the 17th floor of the Grand Mercure in Darling Harbour. I used my tripod but it was damn windy so I had to hold it still

Cropped, framed and colorized in Paint Shop Pro. Resizing, typography and sharpness adjustment done in Photoshop.


Randomness:
I made it blue coz I already submitted a pic of that in sepia and with its original color I chose "Reminisce" for the title since that photo reminds me of good times

Edit [Oct 12, 2004]: Thanks to * autophobius for suggesting this for a Daily Dev and also to ^hesitation for selecting this... you guys rock!!

City people rock.

I knew that was Sydney right away just by looking at it. Very relaxing to the eyes.. those nice cool shades of blues. I'm loving it. I'll fav this as well.

And congrats to you. All the best.

Wow. I can see why this got DD. I'm so proud of ya! And I gotta agree... this is one of the best night time captures i've seen in a LONG time. Anyone who says photography isn't art is out of their minds. That blue is amazing. And I love city scapes so much. I've been in Phoenix for over a year now and I still haven't gotten my butt out to get shots of it. It seems my trusty cam is always out of batteries. And film gets expensive! But I refuse to use a digital cam. I guess i'm just old fashioned.

Again, this is gorgeous. I'll come back to favorite it when i'm done oogling your Agent Smith submission.

Nyehehehehehhehee "Hello Mr. Anderson" OHH GOSHHHH!! I love it when he says that. Hugo Weaving IS the Matrix

Thanks for the nice comment on this I used to think what I did wasn't an artform coz all I did was press a button. But after spending more time taking photos and looking at others' photos, I don't feel that way anymore.

As well you shouldn't feel that way! It's so much more than just point and shoot, y'know? There's so much to do to get an amazing shot. You do beautifully. Don't let anyone tell you different.

very nice shot, the only thing I'd complain about is that it is about a 1/2 degree slanty to the right.. Perhaps a rotate .5 degrees CCW would fix?! Other than that, great shot and well deserving of a
