About This is a boat on a portion of the Willamette River in Salem that takes people for sight-seeing trips or dinner cruises but 'Tonight' it was for a Private Christmas Party' ... It looked so festive I hope I did it justice ---

Nice photo, M. If I might say, it is better to UNDER expose a nite shot, as you can always ps correct it. This boat looks like a fun nite out...so colorful !

Thank You for your comment Doyle --I am so behind in my replies --Plus I lost several :((

I have a computer problem to ask You if you get the chance can You explain to me how to get an image from 1500x1000 pixels to 400 for UF ? I am having a heck of a time and just guessing best I can -ooooooohhhhhhhhh & my last image took me 4 tries before I got close -:))
I feel like there is a mathematical way to do this ?

Sooooooo good to be back :))

Best regards,

Hi Keith , Thank You for your kind comment and suggestions, they are much appreciated. I am not so good at night shots as they are still new to me ..I've lots to learn.. I think You ARE right about the contrast and the image is a bit sharp-- It would've been much
better had I managed a more clear shot :))
Happy Holidays mate!
Cheers, Michele~

It's a red letter day... now I know what broke UF for the day.

(nice shot, seems like a good exposure, not overblown on the light, M)

It looks brilliant Michele.It is a paddle steamer and I'm sure that the people who was on this Christmas Party had a nice evening with a good diner and music!!We had in one of our holidays such an evening on a paddle steamer with candle light diner and beautiful music it was so romantic.I like your picture with all the lights on and the great mood.
Were you invited on this party too?
Have a great Sunday ....HUGS from FROSTY Luxembourg
