Baltimore the Beautiful

[ADavis85]

Went back to the Inner Harbor of Baltimore last night (a favorite spot for my best friend and me). I've taken a million shots of the harbor, Federal Hill, etc...but with the D700, I have an excuse to do them all over again!

Anyway, here's the shot. I took a few regular photos at various exposures, and then decided to try something a bit different...(for me anyway). I used the D700's built-in Multiple Exposure feature, and combined it with bracketing, to make (sort of) an in-camera HDR.

EDIT:
Figured I'd ad one (in a manor of speaking) more shot from last night. A three-shot pan of the city skyline. This was rushed a little bit, I want to go back and do a better one...but it turned out OK, I think.

Thanks for looking. As always, C&C are welcomed.

Seems to have a slight downward tilt to the right (low on the right side). I like it but it may be a bit underexposed in the buildings. Maybe more lights on inside the buildings would have helped.

What is that red "ants walking in a line" effect from the hotel over towards the aquarium on top right side of the photo?

I think a closer crop eliminating much of the bottom of the photo would also help.

Nice - thanks for sharing. I'll be in North Bal'mer tonight for a concert.
I'm guessing the red ants are flashing lights from a plane.

Thanks for the comments guys! Not sure about the tilt, i dont see it...i used virtual horizon...maybe still a bit of lens distortion? Or maybe my head is just tilted to the left lol. Also, the lights are a police helicopter. Being 3 exposures, he was flying towards the Trade Center building (bit of trivia: the World Trade Center tower in Baltimore is the tallest pentagonal building in the US).
