Night Lights in the City

[MarcoDJ]

Hi I know I already posted this image before, I just made some adjustments in the brightness and contrast, made a little cropping from the original, I really like this shot, I just don't know how to make it better. Any thoughts? Lighting? Composition? Exposure? Too many elements?



EXIF from the original:

Camera: Canon EOS 300D Digital
Exposure: 10 sec (10)
Aperture: f/3.5
Focal Length: 18 mm
ISO Speed: 100
Exposure Bias: 0/3 EV

Like the composition lots going on and to look at its just a bit bright on the street level a shorter exposure or smaller aperture might help?

Hi kabayan! A tip I got from some people here regarding night photo is to underexpose the camera's meter by half stop or 1 stop and I think it might apply to your photo as well. I like the angle, the perspective and colors but the lights are a bit too bright for me. This is just my opinion though. Hope it helps

Actually I agree, seeing that my lens we're opened up at 3.5 hehe... I didn't know what I was doing back then. I just thought I'd save this up because in a way... It kinda looked good before heh. Might reshoot this one.

I have mentioned it before on the previous post, the composition is great but the shot is way too bright.
