Sydney Opera House & Harbour Bridge - First attempt at long exposure!

[denirouk]

Hey guys, so I recently invested in a tripod and some ND filters and have been trying some long exposures. My first port of call was to visit Mrs Macquaries Chair in Sydney to get this iconic view of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. I spent a while here and feel this is the best shot I got. The pink streak was a party boat which passed by before I was about to take my shot. Initially I was going to wait for it to pass but the funky lights drew my attention and I decided to release the shot once it was past the bridge for artistic effect - I think it came out pretty well!

Any comments & feedback welcome!

It's interesting, but ultimately it *feels* like the pink spoils the shot, being so dominant. Do you have another without the ship & pink light?
