Challenge:City Life II (Basic Editing III) Camera:Nikon D70 Location: Buffalo City Hall buffalo, NY Date: Dec 28, 2005 Aperture: f/16 Shutter: 1 sec Galleries:Cityscape Date Uploaded: Dec 29, 2005
There is no snow and its actually warm here in buffalo. I love nightscapes so it was great to get out and do some stuff without freezing. I didnt use a star filter the aperture at f/16 and up will give lights that effect when taken at 1/15th of a sec and longer

The deep blue sky works wonderfully - this shot has great colour from the red/orange road to the yellow (attention grabbing) building to the blue sky. It's a shame about the traffic lights and poles though - they kind of cut right through the building. I wonder if you could have recomposed slightly to fix this - maybe not though.
The colors are strange, as is the composition. I think dead-center would have worked better for this shot; if not, much more off-center than you have it.
Beautiful colors. One of my favorite buildings, ever. Try shooting from closer to the statler building (I think thats the one, two streets to the right of this spot) to dodge some the of the lights. Cool.
