Taken on a shoot for my college course. The river runs through the main shopping section of Reading. This is looking up river at restaurants & the car park above. The bridge I was standing on was bouncing as people walked behind me so im suprised it came out as good.

I love the flare coupled with the bright colours and all the different shapes.For myself I don't feel the white part of the border is needed.

The river is cool. It looks like a slick street.

I'd have never known that was a river. Looks for the life of me just like wet concrete or pavement. I see reading your thread you shot this at a 20 sec exposure - that would explain it.

No filter. Used an aperture of 20, ISO 100 & a 20 sec exposure. Got lots of lovely starbursts happening on some of my other shots on the same night too.

Very atmospheric.
I once went to Reading on a photography-based errand for my brother, who was living in England at the time and I was visiting. Picked up a repaired lens or something? I guess this building wasn't there in those days.

It is beautifully crisp. I love the silky reflections and the starburst lights.

I love the colours and the lights (big fan of the starbursts)... crop a tad tight on top for my liking though... look forward to seeing more of your stuff throughout Dec.

Fantastic colors! Night shots with water and pretty lights! What more could we want? LOL!

The ultra violet is nice, esp on the water, esp mixed in w/the orange light on the river. Looks very inviting, a fun place to be at night. Sometimes, even though you think maybe it won't turn out, it pays to take a chance & see what you get. This is definitely a keeper.
