Ah the Blue hour. I am intrigued by the blue hour but not had much chance to shoot then due to the weather .Nice shot now go and clean that sensor.
PS:Well done for remembering the Exif details.

Nothing to complain about. Nice shot.
Technical question for you Mel... why would you go for f/11 on this one? I probably would have opened up the lens full because there's nothing in the foreground that I would care about and it offers a faster exposure... less chance of motion or vibration blur. But I saw your exif data and it reminded me of something... I had read somewhere that the "best" glass of the lens would be in play with the middle f-stops (f/11 or f/13). Just wondering if there's any truth to that and if that's what drove your selection?

Hi Clem. In one of the workshops I attended, they told us that I have to be between f/8 and f/11 on a cropped body and between f/11 and f/16 on a full frame in order to get a clear landscape or seascape from foreground to background. I also wanted the slowest speed for a clear reflection of the buildings on the water. If only I brought the intervalometer, I would have gone for a much slower speed like 1 minute. That would give me a mirror like reflection on the water.
I hope I was able to answer your question, Clem.
Rich, regarding the exif data, if I use flickr to upload the photo here, the small camera icon containing the exif will never show. I have to copy and paste it as the photo's description for all to see the exif data. I'll be doing that from now on.
Thanks, guys.

Thanks, Mel. That was useful info on the f-stop ranges. But now I'm seriously confused about your comment about the water reflection. This might be a silly question to you pros, but why does a longer exposure give you a clearer reflection off the water?? Is it because all the slight imperfections caused by the ripples in the water sort of "even out" over a long period of time?
