Went out after finally getting my d70 back from the shop. Saw the dark knight last weekend and got inspired to make some dark shots. So heres the results. I know the ps is heavy and I wasn't going for realism...just a dark look.
I might be wrong but if you would use a just a stop higher for a shutter speed, headlights wouldn't be so over exposed..
Make your shutter speed faster, so the headlights don't look so bright. I would mess with your settings and practice night shooting some more. Maybe even add a bit of your own lighting. Be creative.
I know that...but like I originally said, I was going for a different look where the lights were stressed. I guess thats getting overlooked.
