I dropped the ball on this one. handheld night shot I had my shutter speed and iso too low. Thought I would post anyway as some might enjoy it.

It has its redeeming qualities, yes. It feels genuine. A bit flawed, yes, but still, it's worth at least a look. In today's world, we can see 5,000 images in a day. Even getting a few seconds' worth of eyeball time makes a shot worth having snapped.

If you in the camp of "always sharp, always...everything perfect" than I understand your hesitation. But I am in the camp of "artsy - fartsy" :lmao: and mood of this shot suits me perfectly.

the signal said stop. I stopped. And looked. You can probably guess what I saw.

it wasn't a purposeful art. I overcompensated. streetlights, traffic lights, do not walk light. Took one, didn't come out. Tried again, flubbed it even more..

which is not the image I saw when I looked. Tried to fix in post to what I saw but wasn't happening. I couldn't even get the checks on the crosswalk back I lost them. i'd say if the goal it to get your camera to show what you are seeing, I failed on this one fairly remarkably..

:lmao: shooting around varying lights at night, ill say this much its a continuous learning curve.
