South Shields old Town Hall (late 1700s) situated in the Market Place which has been here since medieval times, shot taken the night before the market takes place hence all of the empty stalls. We are using a lot of LEDs to light up the town this Christmas.
No HDR treatment with this just a straight forward on the tripod night shot, curves and hue/saturation adjustments in Photoshop, then a sharpen, all nice and simple.
Use control and your mouse scroll wheel to zoom the picture/page, then control and 0 to reset to normal size.
Even though I may not be able to visit or respond daily, I always welcome your comments or critiques.

@Linerberry: It depends on the weather, when the sun shines it is heaving packed!
@Alun: I thinkIi got the colour temperatures about right, bearing in mind the huge amount of reflected blue light (these decorated trees are on all four sides of the market square).
@kate: Some people travel miles on a Saturday or Monday to come here Kate.
@Julie: The whole borough is covered with them, and if you have a large enough display, high enough up, they can be seen for miles!
@Mistral: Thank you, I always try and get around most of my visitors sites so I'll be seeing yours soon, have a good Christmas.
@✿ Anina ✿: You can tell us how it was, Santa gets to you first!
@MrsAmber: Greetings and best wishes to you too Kate.
@Vitor Martins: I sometimes get disappointed at others' night time shots, especially when the street lights produce terrible red/orange/yellow notes, most night scenes do not look that red to the human eye.
@SOUL AFLAME: I'm sure it all has to do with getting the right white balance in the first place.
@john4jack: "A world in HDR" looks great Jack. Most of my images here are compacted down to around 350 Kb, I thought that might be just about on some people's broadband limits, others with "phat pipes" of 10 Mb and higher will be laughing of course. I'm afraid those below around 2 Mb will suffer while the image unloads.
