  #174 Night Photography 		Entry 6 of 19
   
 
Cityscape       ©2016 SteveBee
Panasonic DMC-GX85       6th place, 116 points
1s, f6.3, ISO 400, 46mm, Aperture Priority, Pattern, no flash
 
Post-Processing: Merged multiple shots at different exposures in Lightroom to cover the range of highlight and shadow. Adjusted exposure, contrast, and tone curve for dynamic range. Also cloned out a lens reflection. I am always happy to respond to sincere questions from anyone interested in some specific aspect of my image preparation.       Extra Info: I was trying to find some leading lines for this cityscape. This spot is near a railroad track switching point with one set of tracks curving to the right and another to the left. I set the camera on the tracks at the spot where they split. I liked how the city lights reflected off the shiny tracks. Shot during the blue hour after sunset. Merged 3 shots to cover dynamic range. Merged multiple shots.

Aug 1, 2016		     An interesting composition. I like how the leading lines take me to the light and the lit up building, but then make me detour and explore the framed area to left. The colours are very pleasing. In my favourites.

Jul 30, 2016		     Nice composition, with good color and exposure, but the out-of-focus foreground rails put me off somewhat.

Jul 30, 2016		     I love blue hour photography and this is a great example. The tracks lead the eye into the scene very effectively. High in my favs.

Jul 29, 2016		     Good job of merging images. Nice detail. Initially, I didn't think this was a very interesting image. I looked at it again and have changed my opinion! While personally it would appeal more to me without the "industrial" foreground elements - the overall effect is actually much more interesting than I at first thought. In my top 5.
