Last Thursday Graham and I set out again on a adventure to capture Perth at night. We started at King’s Street. Maybe the street just wasn’t photogenic enough, or maybe the cold night hadn’t warmed up our fingers to do the clicky clicky Who knows what it was for not being able to capture King’s Street, but as all adventures go, we needed to press on!!!

We ventured to Council House based on Graham’s (have to give credit where it is rightfully due) suggestion that the building was lit. Must say we were quite taken back at the beauty of the neon lights that were dancing around the building, and with some careful composition here are my shots. No doubt Graham will try to up-stage me of course.

This shot is of the main entrance to Council House. To me it looks like a entrance to a UFO

In this shot I wanted to capture the various colours of neon light, I had to increase the ISO in order to keep the shutter speeds fast. If shutter speed was left too long you will simply get a blue representation (a mixture of all the neon colours mashed into one). I could have increase the aperture to drop the shutter speed but I wanted to maximise DOF.
