Wow, that's really breathtaking ... would you mind if I used a portion of it as an icon? (I'll credit you in the info, of course.) If you'd rather I didn't, that's obviously fine. *smile*
I really like this one. It's all swirly and purty! This one reminds me of the couple you did about a month(?) ago of lights at night. Except those ones were swirly and wriggly too. The shots you take using the night setting always turn out really well.
this whole nighttimes series that you've taken (like, sice you went to the orchestra) has been absolutely breathtaking. i love them all so incredibly much.
out of curiosity, how to you get the lights to go so swirly? were you just moving as you took the photo (in a car etc.) or does it have to do with the night-time setting?
it has something to do with both - the night time setting opens up the apeture and slows the shutter speed in order to let more light in (because of course, there's less of it at night time). because the shutter speed is open longer, if you move the camera (or the subject moves) while the shutter is still open, then it gets that swirly/blurred look where the light's falling on the film (or in this case, sensor) in a different places as the shutter's open.

Oh, this is some of your best work yet, dear.
Woah.
Just beautiful and very much evokes a sense of a warm summer night, out walking along the water.
Shiny.
