Im very new to photography (about 3 weeks into it now) i took this photo of the Opera house at 10pm from a hotel window (dirty window mind you).. I know its no where near up to par with everyone on this forum so wondering if you can give me a few tips on how to improve them and where i went wrong with this shot. The lens and camera i used are the Canon EOS 30D with the EF-S 17-85mm f4-5.6 IS USM lens.

P.S. Im a graphic designer so i am quite used to critisism so no need to hold back but do be gentle. ;)

well one way the shot could be improved is to take multiple shots a few stops apart and then layer them in photoshop to get rid of the blown out white panels.

i know its a tough deal to get exposure correct with that roof.

a filter would help too.
