A few months ago, my Krisflyer points were expiring, so I decided to redeem a return ticket to the furthest place which my points will let me. This turned out to be Perth, Western Australia. I also asked a long time friend of mine, Clarence, who agreed to come along as well.<\/p>\n

The trip itself came 3 months later. We arrived in the afternoon, checked in to the hotel and headed to King’s Park. Because it’s late autumn the sun sets earlier and this made it a good time to catch a sunset pic before heading to dinner with 2 of my friends who have emigrated to Perth.<\/p>\n

In King’s Park, on the way to the lookout, I saw that this. My cameras are still in my backpack, so I took out the iPhone 4 and snapped a pic.<\/p>\n

This is the best time to shoot night shots as the sky has not turned completely black, which gives a more interesting picture compared to one where the sky is completely black. Shooting at this time also prevents the some of the buildings from blending into the black sky.<\/p>\n
