City Lights Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

I took advantage of the fact that street lamps didn't switch on time, it gave me the opportunity to extend the exposure time without buring out the photo. Taken from my window ^^

It's so rare to see one of these photos that isn't burned out, as you say. There's enough light in the sky to bring out the buildings and the distance. And the green on the wet pavement in the middle left turns into an askew focal point, which makes the rich colors on the lower spectrum all the more vibrant. Very well done!

As Joel commented, it is indeed rare to see a photo like this not burned out. Nice work to get this shot.

There is good detail in the buildings as well.

Regards,
David

Hi Kasia,

nice compo and exposure. I like the vivid colors of the image. Did you try any shots with more foreground trails of cars, something like portrait frame?

Hi Kasia,
Very nicely composed, and with a nice comtrol of the light. The sharpness, and the details, the lines of the moving cars, the colors are superb.
Best regards. Salvator.

Very fortunate with the lack of street lights but you still had a tough job on your hands. You did really well to get such strong, bold traffic trails in this shot. Perfect exposure.
If you ever come to Japan I think you'll find plenty of scenes to suit your style.
Keep up the good work.

Hello again, great shot with the light trails making an impressive effect and shaping a lot of curves in the frame. Nice perspective here also.
Best regards,
