Chicago Lights

[ERapczak]

So I just stepped into the DSLR game back in March and I've been wanting to try a little bit of everything all at once but I've always loved night shooting so I gave it a try when I was in Chicago with the POTN crew in April. Would just like to get some thoughts and possible improvements if any.

Standard sharpening and noise reduction but a good deal of saturation on the red, orange and yellow to bring out the colors.
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1"3

Same as above with standard sharpening and noise reduction but only warmed the tone a notch

Despite a long exposure I still had to bring up the exposure a little to brighten it up and also brought up the saturation in the blues and reds and a few inbetween to get the reflections and sky to stand out a bit more
ISO: 100
Shutter: 30"
Aperature: f/11
