 I know this is probably going to be a "typical" picture for multiple light sources... but it's the first picture I've ever taken like this. It took several trys to make sure the camera was still for that long so the lights wouldn't be blury. But in the end I was really happy with the result. I was just dissapointed there weren't more people driving around on the streets.

I actually took this picture from the observation deck of the Tower of America's in San Antonio, Texas. It is about 530 feet up, and really really windy. I didn't have a tripod, so I had to set my camera on the edge, hold it still, and hope not to drop it! Thanks for the great comments!

wonderful picture, just gorgeous, but the background is so dull.. can you try to work on the contrast for this one to deepen it up a bit?

nice angle but were you using a tripod as it seems blurred in areas?

That's a lot of lights alright. I love the exposure allowing the streaking street lights.

Not a bad shot, but I think it is a bit too busy. There is no main subject or point of interest to draw the eye into the photo.

Slightly over exposed. Could have won if it were exposed better. There's just no true black.

It's an interesting scene, but the photo is suffering from noise and excessive jpeg compression.
