Description
Its 2:35am, I got a dozen mosquito bites (and rising) and I can't effing sleep so I might as well submit something right?
This was shot from the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney. All this time living in Sydney and I just went to the Botanic Gardens yesterday
My better half was hungry and wanted to go home but I really wanted to stay until I got this shot. When we got home, I ended up not cooking dinner right away because I wanted to review my shots. What a crappy husband 
Canon EOS 300D, handheld.
Picture taken on 2008-11-13 6:54:28 PM.
Stitched together from 3 photos using Photoshop.
HDR: 3 exposures, composed/tonemapped in Photoshop/Photomatrix.

Great colors and great composition.
BTW, try searching for the Star-Wars Mosquito Defense System English on You Tube. You're gonna laugh your ass of and forget all about you m. bytes.

Thanks! I've still got a few more key spots I need to take pics from. I'm really enjoying taking pics of the bridge and the Opera House from different angles

How come? I've barely left the house too until about a month ago but its more because I'm lazy

lol, When for one I lived on base, so anything I needed I could buy on base. Secondly, when we did move out our town house was in Bankstown...wasn't the smartest decision we made, it was safer to not leave after dark. Needless to say after 3 months we moved back to base

I guess I'd stay in the house too if I lived in Bankstown, especially at night. Which would kill my creativity since I take a lot of photos at night. I'm in Kingsford (near UNSW) and its pretty cool, just stay out of the way of drunks.

Hey,
Man, was it worth it to stay and take this picture - what a great shot (atmosphere, colours, the view - like everything's breathtaking)!
I hope, your wife can appreciate it like I do and it makes up for the cancelled cooking! - I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
Thanks for submitting it and good luck with your sleep!
Greetings, Miou Q.

Hehe I think I've killed the mosquitoes... well I've killed 3 and so far there hasn't been any others. My wife's awake now too (she got bitten as well) and she says she likes the photo and it looks like I'm in the clear
