Our World - Red Square by night

For this week's Our World entry, I'm featuring a couple of night shots taken at Red Square. There is always something colourful and enjoyable to see and capture there. The entire square is not only impressive in the day time, it's also a great spot to enjoy Moscow's night life when the buildings sparkle and shine with hundreds of flashing lights.

No tripod was used, all photos were handheld and I like the way they turned out. Thanks to my Nikon D90 camera which has a Vibration Reduction feature to reduce camera shake which I find useful when shooting without a tripod. Hope you like them too.

    Somehow I still can't help but feel that Kremlin tower is like Disney's Wonderland. :D

    These are awesome shots. You have given me a beautiful look at REd Square in the evening. Never would I have expected to see motorcycle bikers there. The cathedral at night is spectacular as is the Kremlin. All the towers are magical. One awesome post. genie
