Having fun taking picys in low light Brent? This one shows it off perfectly. jano

Color with serious punch Brent. -Doug

Hmmm, I think I know what you guys mean about reds being tough to capture digitally. I do think the 5D does a little better in that regard compared to my 30D. These lights here were actually more of a hot pink I guess you would call it than a pure red. I think they have used other colored lights too in the past (which might be nice for a re-shoot) though usually they aren't tinted.

Agree with Rod about the reds. It seems all cameras, Canon and others, have trouble w/ red and to lesser extent, yellows. I really like the photo, nonetheless.

I will be interested in how the camera goes with all the different reds. Our crop cameras have trouble with certain shades of red, the reds in this picy look to be one of the troublesome ones but it reproduced nicely here.

Beautiful ! I like the red against blue.

Thanks for the comments all :-) I think you have a good point Rod in that it has a little too much similarity to an image I have already posted. This was actually a test shot as I saw they were lighting this with color (which they don't always do) as I rode past it coming home. I didn't have a tripod with me so I thought I would at least take a few shots to see what potential was there and possibly come back later with a tripod. Then I thought maybe the test quality was good enough and the chances of getting that nice sky on another visit were pretty low...

The camera is amazing - how you can push the neon lights (I noticed it in times square too). Nicely composed, great color against the deep, sparkling blue! Penny Street

Very cool, Brent. You're doing really good stuff. ~Lydia

Another goodun Brent well done mate. The only thing is it's a bit too similar in looks & colour to the Peeks Market picy so loses some impact.

I've never seen this Brent - very spectacular and colorful structure! Love the contrasting colors and that little sign down at the bottom! :-) CJ

Another terrific twilight natural vs artificial light color study. Really well done and gives cause for hope for the rest of us. -tv
