[QUOTE="J-see, post: 375793, member: 31330"] The shot isn't bad but you lack depth. Night shots are usually long exposure shots so you shouldn't be bothered if it takes even longer. I use ISO 100 and prefer f/7-11 but it depends a bit on my lens. It doesn't matter if it takes 3 seconds or 30 since you have the cam on a tripod or on a surface anyways. I normally also underexpose a bit to lower the amount of data being washed out by the lights. Some don't so I guess it's what works best for you. You can adjust the tones afterwards in post. I don't know what program you use but if I want it a bit more orange/brown, I use split-toning to set the highlights and shadows that way. And I feel you about the passerby. That's the most annoying part of doing long exposures out there. Edit: I did some quick adjustments in post. I pulled some details and changed the exposure here and there. I also tried to set something more orange/brown. It's a small JPEG so I couldn't do much but it's to show you why post processing matters. [ATTACH=CONFIG]122506._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
