How does one shoot cities at night without overexposing highlights, like light inside buildings and not underexposing dark, non lighted areas? Also not having light streaks. I can shoot nice photos of cities, but pretty much all the lights are blown out if u zoom in on them. I've seen some really nice photos before that look perfect, but im sure theres more to it than taking one shot and a bunch of editing.
I normally shoot cityscapes at iso 100, f9 to f11, 15-30 sec exposure. If I shoot it in aperture priority, its too bright, so than I go into manual and shoot it 5 seconds less...
How do you guys shoot cityscapes? Any helpful advice?
I have a nikon d800 and use the nikon 14-24 lens and occasionally the 70-200 for night cityscapes.
