So, this is Richmond?
Thanks for showing, Andre! I've never been there :) I think you chose the perfect settings to shoot: lights are great, definition nad contrast are also very good...
Cheers,
Ana

Andre, I agree that the parking lot is distracting, too yellow I think. And I'd get rid of that brown dot in the sky, very distracting. This is a very nice shot, well composed and thought out. Amy

Andre:
What a pleasant effect the lights around these buildings give in contrast to the deep blue hue in the sky around them. Lovely.

Thanks for your information. The fun part( I hope) is that you can go back and do it as many times as you want, in as many settings as you want.
I have always ascribed to the theory that went one found an inviting subject, that I'd shoot it from many angles, and lookaround the area for other nearby subjects.
I'll have to work with this D70, and get to know it as I do my film cameras.
Happy Holidays.
Walt

I really apreciate the comments from everybody, thanks a lot, I like the idea of cropping the bottom, but I also liked the line in the parking lot pointing back to the first building.
Walt, I left the WB on auto, I'm shooting in RAW so I can change the WB later if I want on NikonCapture (it only applies the settings when you open the file, but it never alters the original file) I had the camera on manual, I set the apperture, then I set the speed until the meter indicated one notch overexposed (15sec). Let me know if you have any more questions.

Hi Andre
I like the exposure on your picture, it's a good color and exposure.
I think that the parking lot adds to the composition; you wouldn't want them to be floating in the air.
Theonly other things that I would say is that you might change the position to the left a bit, so as to make them more of a leading line effect.
Another possibility would be to take pictures from the sky bridge, in the distance or even crop in a bit so that only some of the bldgs show.
I do have one favor to ask;
Since I do have a D70, and haven't used it very much, would you be so kind as to tell about the WB, and in which mode(Aperature, Manual, etc) that you used with your camera.? I'd appreciate your assistance.
Walt

Hi Andre - I think the outline of these buildings creates the most interesting aspect to this shot. I agree w/ paul that the parking lot distracts alot from the mentioned glow of the buildings in the night. Also, doing this perhaps a little earlier, would produce a more contrasting blueish tone to the sky. Exposure values look very good. There seems to be an unusual brown dot floating above the smallest building to the left - but an easy fix in PS.
Regards,
Chris

Great exposure and very crisp, but I think by minimizing the parking lot, you're leading the eye much more strongly into the contrast of buildings and darkness.
I set the bottom crop to use the trail of tail-lights
|
minizing the parking lot emphasizes the buildings, I think. |

Thanks for the comments!!
The lights are on due to the holiday season, they really give it a cool outline.

Very nice, are those lights that line the edges of each building on all the time or are they just on due to the holiday season? I live in Baltimore and this shot gives me an idea of a shot I would like to try. Congrats on a cool pic!

Awesome! The christmas lights make the building really stick out like they are alive with the long exposure. Very nice.
