Challenge: Long Exposure III (Basic Editing)
Camera: Nikon D300
Lens: Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED
Location: Boston, Massachusetts in Boston Commons
Date: Dec 15, 2007
Aperture: f/11
ISO: 200
Shutter: 30 seconds
Galleries: Cityscape, Landscape
Date Uploaded: Dec 16, 2007

This is taken in the Boston Commons about 45 minutes after sunset and two days after a huge snow storm. The long exposure here pops the different colors of mixed lighting (christmas lights, tungsten, florescent) and brought back a blue-ish and purplish tint to the sky, which in actuality was already quite dark.

Nice colors and composition - wintry but warm in feeling.

and very pretty they are too. I don;t know if you tried to close the aperture as much as possible, by doing that you get a nice "starlight" effect on the lights. But this is very good, I like it.

Neat.

Absolutely great light balance. There is too much here, especially with the trees in the foreground. Coming a little close to the bridge and a slightly different angle probably would've helped.

Lovely image. I like the framing by the branches ;)

Pretty colors. The scene is nice.

Good

IMO there is too much negative space at the top. The bridge and the willow tree are beautiful.
