Yeah, at first I thought the train signal lights went with my title, but I suppose they are rather distracting. I really didn't have much of a choice though, this is taken out of a broken window on the third story of an abandoned building. I had to climb up some old metal boxes to reach the window and I snapped the picture though there.
There is no star filter, it's just shot at a small aperture opening. Thanks for looking
Nice, but what's the focal point? My eyes are having trouble finding a place to rest -- signals, skyline, tracks and traffic are all competing for my attention (but none of them in a particularly compelling way).
I do like the long exposure and everything about the cityscape, including a nice composition with the train tracks that draw you right in the frame but that thing at the top left is rather distracting, at least in my opinion.
I have a hard time with these night shots...for me if you do a night shot it needs to be super sharp and clear (unless there is fog). Did you handhold this?
Nice city scene and I like your use of aperture to make the lights look like stars. I don't like the traffic lights in the foreground on that metal support, it really takes away from the photo.
