There are a few of these around the city and they are lit very well. I took these the other night. I wonder what I could be doing better to capture this architecture. They are so bright and the surrounding objects, though well lit at times, don't stand out that well. Take a look and let me know of something I haven't thought of.
Picture 1:
5D, 17-40 f/4, @f/4, iso 400, 17mm, 1/40th, rested on exterior gate
Picture #2:
5D, 50mm 1.4, @f/18, 2.5 seconds, iso 100, rested on subway entrance across the street.
I thought maybe dropping the f-stop for picture 1 and using a longer shutter speed. I also can't convince myself that it is straight enough. For picture 2 do you think I should get rid of the video billboards and sharpen up the light trails?
Any advice on how to capture these would be helpful.
