This is an atonishing image !!!!

I'd like to ask you some questions...


The trails show al long exposure

What exposure time and compensation ?

I see a pink cast in the bright points, did you use some red filtration to compensate cyan shift, or simply it was a result from postprocess when compensating that shift, as lights would not have as much cyan shift for long exposures... ??

Thanks in advance, Regards

Thanks Pere,

I exposed the image for roughly 30 minutes at F/22. I didn't bother to do any film reciprocity compensation as I figured 30 minutes at that aperture was enough to at least capture the city skyline. I was hoping for more star trails but light pollution tends to blot out most of them in a scene like this. Although I did capture more than I could see with the naked eye.

The pink cast was from postprocessing, I didn't notice it until you pointed it out. I have since corrected it.

Thanks for that information. I like that pink cast !

I don't really know what I'm doing when it comes to night shots. But I tried. And didn't get such a bad shot. I have more ideas for the neighborhood night shots. Pretty soon the city puts xmas lights all over the place.

Chamonix 4x5
Arista EDU 400 @ 200
PMK around 14 minutes or so
f32.5 @ 8 seconds

ericantonio: Nice result! I like the geometry of it, the composition and the DoF. Looking forward to more...

Thanks! Looking forward to night shots. It's when I can do some actual getting out and having fun!
