Rainy, dreary Pittsburgh

Any comments appreciated.

Good exposure!!!

Nice picture but what i dont like is the way all the cars are standing by and there's like 3 car down the immage that are kind of blurry... sorry for my bad english... still a great picture!

Gotta love the person who gave me a 1/1...sure is encouraging to a beginner like myself. I was simply trying to get a good exposure on a dark and rainy night. Thanks for the nice commliments from the others.

Hey Steve, Sorry about that 1/1 someone gave you, there are tough people all around us. Critics everyplace sometimes. Don't let it get you down. The picture is very well done I think. It even has a 3-d effect. Don't worry about the cars in the foreground with blury lights. They are that way because they are moving faster relative to your angle than the others are. I like some motion and that is just right. You can still tell it is a car.

I also love exposure here and composition, too. Is it taken from a roof? Great feeling of rain and "dreariness" although so attractive. I personally would try a longer exposure time (at narrower aperture or lower ISO, of course, to keep the amount of light the same) to get all the cars moving. If the speed limit is 35 mph whch is 1.6 m/s, should it be... 0.5-2.0 s? =)
