I have played with one in photoshop and got it to how i like it, I may go back and try a HDR image of this tonight or tomorrow.

Color : sRGB

1.3 second exposure
Metering: pattern

Welcome to DPS. It's a bit too large. Try reposting in medium size. Other than that, it looks like a spectacular shot.

Hello SBF and welcome to a great community of like minded people. I hope you stick with us and enjoy posting your shots for us all to see. This is quite spectacular. It is so busy, the eye goes crazy with it. I bet you could get several cropped images that would look equally great from this. Keep clicking and posting. God bless. PAUL

Welcome to the community SB,

Very interesting shapes and lines.. I also like the different light colors.. for a first post that is excellent. Well done.

As mentioned ( and we are certainly not Moderators ) but you need to resize it to 740pix on the long side, or a mod will change it. alot of us have posted too large

But regardless of it's size, it is a stunning view and a really good long exposure... thanks for sharing and glad to have ya with us,

Vin
