More than "just a night shot"...this is beautiful! A little over exposed in the center of the buildings, but I think the darkness of the water helps to offset it :thumbup:

For some reason this isn't how I expected Anchorage to look like!


A very nice moody shot! Thanks for posting it and correcting my perception of the town!:thumbup:

I once spent a month in Anchorage, you've captured the beauty that I remember. Thanks for sharing. Take care, Jeff.

Wow, I didn't know it was such a big city... one more place on my "gotta go there" list!
Beautiful, and I insist beautiful pic!

The reflection of the lights on the water is perfect. I think if you had not overexposed the middle section of the buildings a little, this would not have come out. The clouds look funny, though. Something like a drawing seems to be there, can't quite describe it, but it had me move in on my screen and stare so I would find out what it is. Can't...

Time to start doing some new night photography myself, I think, but what is illuminated here??? Aargh. Neck of the woods. Out in the boonies. Back of beyond... Hmph.

LaFoto- ya your right, the middle building has rather bright lights compared to the surrounding buildings it was either a nice reflection and the majority of the buildings or the middle building... the clouds in the background that are buggin ya so much are not really clouds, but prob fog, the city lights reflecting off of the fog and clouds make it seem almost fake

on the way out to take this picture i was worried i wasnt going to be able to take it because from my apt, to practically the parking spot, visibility was prob 1/4 mile... (or about 1/2 kilometer to you)

How very much I miss Alaska, especially this time of the year.... although I lean more toward the Fairbanks area...

 

[Knopka]

Beautiful capture! I love it.

Very nice, at first I didn't notice the mountains behind the city... Awesome picture.

Hey...I can see my old office window! Conoco-Phillips Building...southwest corner...20th floor. Man, I miss that office. Good views.

I like the moody red-orange palette of this scene...a departure from the usual shots which tend strongly toward blues and the occasional gold.

Nice to see a fellow Alaskan posting here, too.
