At the risk of eating my earlier words, Lightning for C&C

[MonicaBH]

I shot these earlier this evening using a cable release & tripod in "live view"

PP in LR4.

f/8 | ISO 100 | SS 5.3" | 25mm |

f/8 | ISO 100 | SS 10" | 25mm |

I quite like it, but there is a lot of noise and number 2, the horizon is a bit off. And that red dot could be taken out. But good shot

 

[MonicaBH]

Yeah, both of them turned out very noisy when I adjusted the exposure in LR4, and I do notice that I overcompensated when straightening #2. Eff.

The red dot in is a streetlamp that I was using as a marker, lol.

Thank you!

#1 is great...#2 is still good ;-)

Except for that noise, the images are very good

Thank you!

Take these back into your editor and tweak the dark side of the curves and most of your noise will go away.
