These are some of the shots that I personally like from the date cum photoshoot two nights ago (thank you L for being so patient with me!). I can honestly say that I had not done a thorough editing work, but more like a little bit of each shots’ brightness, contrast, noise, exposure and white balance.
The shots were mostly taken with RAW and a few JPG. No tripod, still waiting for my job to settle down. I only used my 18-55m VR (VR was kept on) and my Nikon D60 all night long. No flash on all except the last one with built-in flash (too lazy and cold to set up my SB-400). ISO were mostly Auto up to 1600, except for a few. If you need the EXIF, just leave a comment below and I’ll provide it.
Alright, on to the pictures. Enjoy:

Which Suit for You?
Easily my favourite shot from the lot (I learned to apply spot metering in my night photography).
Do You Know what You are Carrying?
An ongoing campaign in Australia targeting the youths on STD.
The Couple in London Court
I converted this into B&W using my camera from RAW, but I wanted to show the colour here.
The Violin Guy
The Violin guy who plays extremely soothing tune. I know the shot isn’t the best, but I.. like it.
The Guitar Guy
The Guitar guy plays great great tune from his guitar with some effects, joyful music. *built-in flash used*
Part 2/2 coming up next!

What settings were you using for the bus stop and couple shot?
Comment by rich — June 7, 2008 @ 2:34 am
@rich -
Hi Rich, sorry for the late reply. Settings for the bus stop and couple shot?
Bus stop = (Auto) ISO 360, f/4.5, 1/15 (VR On), Manual, No flash, Spot metering (I think on the guy’s top).
Couple = (Auto) ISO 1100, f/4.2, 1/13 (VR On), Manual, No flash, Spot metering (I think on the windows).
Hope this helps and sorry for the late reply. Have a great weekend!

[...] had forgotten to include this shot from Perth City at Night photoshoot. It’s an old building of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, right in the heart of the city. [...]
