    Well now I feel the urge to submit. This is one I took in Vancouver B.C. from atop my hotel room. Beautiful place. Never enough cars for a good shutter shot but the moon is what pulls me.

    Just messing with different levels and masking. Kinda fun, in a painstaking sort of way. I like mismatches between sky and subject matter, on those occasions when I'm able to make it happen.

    Shot on the way home from the picture show last night. I may try this again, with more dusk-like lighting. Photo details - 1DmkII, 35 f1.4L, f1.4, 1/15th second, ISO 1600, handheld. I did a slight blend of two different RAW exposures, so as to darken the foreground a wee bit, plus lots of contrast and saturation, and sharpening.

    This one was on the way to the picture show. A little soft, I thought, not sure why. Same camera and lens, f1.4, 1/60, ISO 1250. Cropped, Transformed for perspective, contrast, saturation and sharpening.

    Softer light, avoids the harsh shadows of unfiltered sunlight, really cool background light (can be dark blue or orange or red or purple,) still reveals details of the buildings, puts a nice tint on everything that's hit by the light, is a nice contrast to the brighter lights of the cars.

    BTW, I now see I should have left more headroom above the tallest building. Ah well, live and learn.

    Great idea from the both of you, Patch for the framing idea and wxwax for the reshoot by dusk. (Do you two really live in the same city???)
    Love the curves that are made by the light trails...
    Guess I could try to do light trails from the one car that passes here in the evening at 7.57...

    Like your evening shots Sid... I like the one with the bend towards the buildings with the blue sky.
    You are doing a great job on keeping the camera still... Wished I had your steady hand. Great night shots you posted here in this tread.

    A fun and unusual one, for me. I was about done for the night and decided to use up a few frames shooting my bike, which I rarely do. I was trying to use the headlights of the passing cars to light up the machine. In this image, the advancing car made it half way through the frame and sorta sets up the motorcycle. Nothing great, but odd. I tried to duplicate the effect, but timing the cars is too difficult and I couldn't.

    I wanted to test out how the digital camera would handle car light streaking. Here is a quick shot. Now all I need to do is to shoot it at dusk on a clear evening and it should look great.
    These are some great pictures. They say practice makes perfect, I have alot of practicing to do!
