The harbour by night, Weymouth

Weymouth, Dorset view map

I thought it was time I uploaded a shot of Weymouth by night. I was standing on the Town Bridge when I took this shot ~ two minutes' walk away from the house I grew up in.

If you're wondering about the 10s exposure… I flipped off the VR and rested the camera on the railing of the bridge. Trouble was, every time a lorry or bus came over it shook the bridge and I had to start again!

By the way, this image is precisely geotagged for your interest. (Try 'satellite' view to see the actual bridge!)

This is a super pano of the harbour, Chris! Voted
If you shot this in RAW you can correct the colour balance to remove some of the yellow-orange cast.
