Talking Ski Hill (night shot) First night out

Hello all,

This is another one of my first night out shooting of two days ago.
I actually took this shot on my way back from work before the other shots.
I tried different aparture values and exposure times and different shots of each.
I liked the way the car lights were leading into the mountain.
I would like to have feedback on exposure and composition if they are ok.


Ski Bromont night long exposure



Camera: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS
Exposure: 15
Aperture: f/18.0
Focal Length: 46 mm
ISO Speed: 100
Exposure Bias: 0 EV
Flash: Off

Cool shot! I think the exposure is pretty good. What might look cooler would be if you could have arrived to take the shot at the end of twilight when there was just a hint of light along the horizon. That would give definition to the hill.

That would just be a different idea, not necessarly any improvement. Great job!

I like this shot and think you done a good job.
It kind of reminds me of that baseball movie Field of Dreams where at the end all the people are driving towards the field.
Your getting good at this nighttime theme..

No Sime it is not Whistler, i wish it were, i could have gotten some great day shots if it were. It`s Bromont just south of Montreal, it;s much smaller.
