Zaandam by night

[Mark]

A hundred meters from my house there's a river. It's a great place for taking pictures. Even in the dark.

I like these night "city on the river" photos. If I may suggest you something, try to crop it to 3:2 or even 16:9. I think there is too much wasted space at bottom.

I fully agree with Pavel. And maybe it could be done closer to the deck limit, so it would be possible to get more water and reflex in the frame... its a fabulous light you've got here!

Super!
I also agree with the above comments. I particularily like the calm feel that the 'flat' water gives and also the mix of light sources...would that be moonlight behind the tower at the far right of the picture...or a football stadium perhaps?

Thanks for the comments. I agree. I used a bench on the deck to stabilize my camera, but it would´ve been better if i had used the edge of the deck.

As for the light. That´s every day, every hour different. The light behind the tower was probably the light of the city. Or it might have been still some last reflections of sunset. I shot it about an hour after sunset.
