Did you use a tripod? Remote release or self-timer? What spot in the scene did you meter from? If you metered from the lights going down the middle of the scene then that would automatically limit the exposure in the surrounding area, even with bracketing. It's always good to expose scenes like this for the lights (a couple of brackets would work) and also for the surrounding landscape (again, a couple of brackets would work). Then you'll have properly exposed areas for the different parts of the scene and can combine them in Photoshop. Sort of the way we used to make multiple exposures using film back in the "old days".</p></blockquote><p></p>
