The timing worked out favourably, and I stopped at the Gosford Waterfront near home and spent 15 minutes grabbing a few shots. I would've preferred to have waited until they were a little lower, and I would've preferred a few light clouds to give some depth, but I'm fairly happy with how they turned out.

Taken with the Canon 350D on a fixed tripod, with the Sigma 17-70mm lens.

The first shot is at 25mm, f/9, 8 second exposure @ ISO100.
The second shot is at 70mm, f/9, 10 second exposure @ ISO100.

The second one has also been cropped a bit tighter, but neither have had any other processing except for resize + sharpen for the web.

Thanks for looking.

very nice images Mike
