Sky of Montreal

I guess the smog as more to do with this picture than I... Anyway, I

really enjoy taking pictures at night but I'm not quite there yet. I

think I still need to underexpose a bit (I really don't like the big

flashy with spots). Any thing else I should look for? Thanks for any

comments...

Did you use a filter? It seems like some sort of filter was used, if so, which one or combo? I am curious about this shot. - Cedar

No filter. It was late at night and very dark (I couldn't see clearly what I was shooting, only the little white house), but overexposing and the combination of these very low clouds, full moon raising and city lights gave this picture.

I like this shot, but focusing the camera more carefully would have given you a better picture.

The sky is interesting, but not interesting enough to make this image work. The composition is weak, and it looks a little soft focused. Including the city lights, etc. weakens the image. Since the sky is the only interesting thing, why not just make a sky scape? Look for interesting patterns in the clouds?

 

Anyway, good luck shooting.

This image certainly gives Montréal a demonic air about it. Neat effect. Prior to reading comments I would have attributed it to Photoshop wizardry.
