The Subject:
This shot was from Saturday, about an hour and a half after the shot of the GBW from my last post. My friend took me to a park with a clear view of NYC's financial district to take a few more photos before the night was over. I've been wanting to shoot night time cityscapes for a while now, and this was my first attempt. I set up my tripod, and snaaaaaaped (low shutter speeds) away before park security closed the park and practically dragged us out (okay, a bit exaggerated there). Shout out to Winfred and my wife who waited patiently while I took these photos.
The Shot:
This first shot up top was actually a bit of trickery. My title here said "Pretending to do HDR". High Dynamic Range shots combine three shots of the same subjects at different exposures to bring this really dynamic colors and lighting into the shot where colors contrasts are high. The image would practically jump out at you and grab your retinas by the hohos. This isn't anything close to HDR, but I did combine two shots here via Nikon's in-camera image overlay function. I'm not entirely certain that this trick added much, but there were certain shades of varying color that wasn't in either of the shots used for the image overlay. I am definitely going to try some real HDR work in the future once I get my hands on Adobe Lightroom.
For good measure, here's another shot that was zoomed in a bit, but done without the image overlay.

I'd love to hear feedback on these shots from other photographers whether you're experienced or a novice like me. Leave me a comment!
