Retrospectively inspired by Greg's talk on Fibonacci, golden ratios, etc, I cropped this picture taken the Thursday night before this year's AAIC from my hotel room. I don't think any of the elements actually conform too well to the ratios, but I do like the lightning I captured on the horizon between the two hotels left of centre. Rather than chase the stars in processing, I thought I'd try and preserve the blues in the sky to balance the sodium yellow from the ground. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Oh yes - Nero lightning triggers don't work under these conditions, even at maximum sensitivity. So I just kept poking the shutter release.
I'm actually very curious about others opinions on framing, composition, etc so would appreciate any commentary from those who have one!
cheers,
Andrew.

Thanks Paul. Turns out the good people at Crowne Plaza liked it a lot!
Still, I think I'll stick to my day job...
Cheers,
Andrew.

Goodness...I got an attack of vertigo looking at that.
