City of Golden Lights
Louisville, Kentucky USA 21 April 2008 10:06 PM EST This shot was NOT easy due to another photographer trying to take this same night shot using a flash. From this vantage point, the city is one mile away. He ruined 5 of my long exposures with his flash. Finally, I politely ask him to please let me get one good shot.

Mark Moskvitch
Helen,
Well if they thought they were going to light up the city from across the river with a flash, I wan’t whatever flash their using, that’s some machine. :)
As always, a stunning image. Beautiful use of the available light and reflection, these shots are always worth the trouble…..
I especially like the way the image is framed by the grass in the foreground and the bridge to the left, has the visual effect of almost holding out the image of the city to the viewer.
Excellent work !!
Helen Bascom in reply to Mark Moskvitch’s comment
LOL Poor fellow. I was very polite to him, because I could tell he was just starting out.
I was not sure about the grass and the bridge at first. But I left it in because it gives the image a sense of perspective, of the expansiveness of the river front.

KatB
You did a fantastic job! I’m amazed at the calmness of the river, it’s usually choppy and moving quite quickly. I’ve been trying to get over there for a couple of weeks now but yard work has been keeping me home.
Helen Bascom in reply to KatB’s comment
Thanks KatB. The river was so calm on this night. It was amazing. The sky was clear, calm water, warm air. It was perfect.
