..shot through a dirty window unfortunately. I couldn't find any balconies in the hotel.

You really should go back there with a flashlight or something to paint the building. It looks like an awesome structure but due to lack of light (and angle) it's more of a muddy mess in that picture.

Here's one I took last night.


Good thing the cottage is only partially in the shot or else Kinkade would sue you! ;)

Backyard picture. The lights and rocks looked really mysterious, but somehow I can not quite bring that out in the picture. Any suggestions ?



ETA: Thanks for the positive responses. I'll file the picture under "good enough" for now :)

Smaller aperture = more streaks. First one is f/16 second one is f/8 and thus less streaky.

For cityscapes, where do you guys get your meter readings from?

Currently I do a lot of trial and error, dialing the shutter until the preview looks right, but there's got to be a better way.

The second is for astrophotography which tends to rely on shorter wavelengths. If you are anywhere near an observatory then all the surrounding areas will have sodium street lamps to prevent excessive light pollution.

Well sure the astrophotography guys can just use their expensive narrow-band filters, but what are regular photographers supposed to do with stupid mixed lighting ?

This is wonderful. I am amazed that there is so little clipping in the houses despite the long exposure.

I'm not sure whether to edit out the wires over the road using context aware fill. Is it better to have more or less light trails in a shot like this?
I like the light trails and did not notice the wires. What irks me is that the photo is tilted.
