Description
This was shot last summer at Epcot's World Showcase, in the China pavilion. I had always liked the architecture out there, especially when it was lit at night. Unfortunately, I hadn't planned on doing any night shooting, so my tripod was sitting at home. Thankfully there was a low wall there, so my McGyver skills took over and wah-lah... instant stable surface. I took several shots and hoped for the best. This one was the least noisy (had to use a high ISO to even remotely be able to brace the camera on the wall without it moving).
Shot with my E-300, using the 18-180mm lens, actual focal length was 18mm. Aperture was F4.5, shutter speed was 1/5th of a second, and the ISO was 800.
I did do a slight noise filter in each of the channels in Photoshop, just to clean things a bit, but other than that, no post work applied (except the obvious resize and signature).
Thanks to all the folks who have stopped by and checked out my photos and artwork. I might not have time to comment on all the artist's work that I'd like to, but I definitely do look at as much of it as I can.
Here's hoping that everyone has an excellent New Year. Be safe, be well, and be happy.

A marvelous night capture! And that sky! Cheers :)
Nice work. My image of the day is also one of those - "oh darn, I wish I had my tripod" shots. You did good! :-) Happy New Years and a wonderful 2007 to you and yours!!!
Yeah - that's what I like about Epcot, too - and I had the some trouble as you, last time out there. But it turned out to be a great capture!
beautiful shot...McGyver would be proud... Happy New Year...lee
