This is freakin beautiful. Man, if you sell your car before I do my headlights, I HAVE FIRST DIBS. That's pretty much exactly what I want to do to mine.

I'm a total noob at photography, so I have a question or two for you if you don't mind.
Did you use a high ISO for those top pics and then just touch them up in PS and/or Lightroom? I want to do some night shots but I don't know how to have them come out well-lit like that. I want to make sure I'm doing everything right with my camera settings (D5100) instead of just over processing everything in PS. You can message me so we don't clutter up the thread if you like.

Night photography is best with a tripod. You can keep your ISO down and ensure sharp shots. Locking your mirror up so that there isn't as much camera shake from the shutter helps as well.

To be honest I do not know that much about photography either, all I've picked up about night photography is that if you make your aperture as low a number as possible (I normally have it between F3.5-F5), and then have a play around with different settings of manual exposure (whilst using a tripod) you will get quite crisp colours and edges so very little work will need to be done on Lightroom (what I use). I'm not skilled enough yet unfortunately to find a location and instantly know what level of manual exposure is needed. But in the past without changing the aperture I would need to take 5-10 second photos and there would be a lot of grain. Since altering that setting first, the pictures are between 1/3 - 3 seconds to take (battery life goes a hell of a lot further too now) with little to no grain. Hopefully this info can help you guys out too. |

1) With a low iso (100/200) and longer exposures. 2) On a (good) tripod 3) With a remote release (Nikons have a fantastic super cheap remote that is all you'll ever need) It's the ML-L3 if you want to look it up, but you can get them anywhere online. I'm sure Canon has something similar. 4) If your frame has a delayed shutter release option, or mirror lock, use it. This raises the mirror then waits a short time before releasing the shutter, which lowers the chance of vibration/blur since you will be using a longer exposure. One neat trick for night shots is to use a really strong filter on a remote flash to highlight a subject. Then adjust the color balance (easiest in post, but can be done in-camera), which puts your subject in correct WB and everything else gets shifted to an array of odd colors. |

Don't forget you can use a reasonably higher ISO combined with a wide aperture to achieve a faster shutter speed. Longer shutters will give you more noise. Lr's noise reduction is pretty good at cleaning up your images. One other thing to thing to think about is metering on the right spot.
