Pictures of Cityscape at Night

Messed around for a few minutes. Met a fellow photo enthusiast who may show up on this site.

Nice, it looks 1000% better at night but still those huge swaths of blank grey concrete are just awful. There's one portion on the NE corner of the plaza that has some articulation and design to the concrete, sort of a faux brick look, why couldn't they have done that everywhere to create visual interest? Blah.

^handheld or tripod? If they were done with a tripod, try bumping up the aperture to like f11 or f12 (EXIF data says you shot these at like f4/5). You'll get the logos crispy, vibrant color, etc.

Tripod. The one that is noisy is because of my crappy PP.

Man, I haven't got the camera out in 3 months and it's like I forgot everything.

Great pictures, love to see more than one color of light instead of just white. I like the mix of blue and the red at the top of the tower. Also the photo with Lurhs Tower in the background I think looks impressive. With the colorful signage and the old tower in the back makes it an interesting mix of old and new . It'll look better once more stores open up. BTW what type of camera did you use? Nikon?

^ After Brewer gets elected? Fat chance of that happening...

These are really nice photos, John. You've come a long ways since your point and shoot days...

Have there been any updates on retail for the retail portion of Luhrs Tower?
