Looking roughly east from my apartment balcony, over Victoria Park towards the downtown core of Kitchener, Ontario, at 11:06 PM.

This is my first attempt with the camera to get an evening picture. I picked up the equipment just a couple days ago, with not much prior photography experience.

Pointers for improvement welcome!

The idea was great but the actual shot leaves much to my imagination, which isn't always a bad thing but on this one it is, too much darkness across the bottom, a tighter crop and the lights in the center left could have lead you into the shot to the landscape across the back.

I like the downtown skyline. The nearer houses being mostly obscured by trees, don't work so well for me, and the bright foreground lights draw my eye into the mostly-empty space there, rather than focussing on the more distant buildings/lights, which seem more attractively exposed.

Wish you would have used longer exposure here This could have been beautiful just my opinion I guess you wanted it like this. Its a bit to black for me but the lights looks good . Good luck :)

This is simply too dark for me..It is hard to see things...and while you can have a dark photo like this, to pull it off you need a focal point.

what is interesting here?

A bit underexposed, so you lost most of the detail in the darks. Pretty lamp stars - looks like constellation.

Very deep shadows - I have calibrated my monitor and IMO this is just too dark with not enough shadow detail. Would like to see one taken at dusk or twilight.

Too dark. Things can look different on different PC monitors, but I cant see much in this.

This looks like a great place to take a picture from. It seems a bit too dark, though it could be my screen.
