This is a shot taken of the empire state building on Pride Day!
Here's some tech info on how it happened:
- Used lower ISO, long exposure produces a lot of digital noise the lower the ISO the better
- Overrode the light meter (or auto mode) open an exposure 1 to 2 extra stops
- To get the blue sky, shot during the blue hour. Blue hour starts after sunset and lasts for about an hour or two, or longer depending on geographic location and time of the year.
- Used Tripod. To be able to shoot at low light and use low ISO tripod is required.
- Post Production done in Light Room- Basic Settings tweaked:
- Contrast +50
- Highlights -10
- Shadows +80
- Whites -40
- Blacks -40
- Clarity +30
- Vibrance +20
- Saturation 0
