Here are some night shots of Leeds and a few of York...All images were taken with a Canon 350D.

Hello Karl, and welcome to this friendly site her at Steve's!

What is there to say? They are just perfection - nothing less. The 3 first ones are so crisp and sharp and well-exposed, there is really nothing more to add.

Well done!

My personal favorite is # 4 and #5.

Especially #4 with it's Low-Key, Dicken's atmosphere (you would expect Ebenezer Scrooge coming down that street, anytime) is a classic. It even looks like the shop-windows are Christmas-dressed for the occasion.

The mirrow-like reflections in #2 and #6 are extraordinary beautiful and well shot.

Very nice and perfect series, Karl!

BTW - I just looked through your Galleries and found a monochrome-picture I thought we would never see again, not after digital has taken over film-based photos - The portrait 79 of Eric Smith - Saltaire is just so good with all those amazing B&W-values!!!

Ohh my! I just realised how far we (I) still have to go.....

Karl - fantastic images. These are really very well done - interesting compositions and exposures are spot-on. I love the reflected blue light in the 2nd shot.

All truly wonderful shots. The only fault to me is the over saturation of the blue reflection in #2. Also in a couple of the pics I find the light flares a little too noticeable. Particularly in #4, 5 and 6. Your colors and focus are spot on.

Excellent shots, Karl, and welcome to the forum. Would you mind sharing the lens and exposure info?

karltog,

No use in talking about favourites here. Brilliant night pictures, all of them. Well, the Tea Rooms picture...
