Sharjah City at night

Professional · Feb 11, 2011

I went to Sharjah city on thursday because it was a light festival, it was nice amazing colors with light there but i couldn't go around due to limited time and it was so traffic, so i focused on 2 places mostly.

Here are just 3 shots of around without the most colorful lights, but it show little of what is going on there.

Thank you very much!

I can't straight all of them, it will crop some from edges and i didn't like to lose more pixel for straighten.

The time was around 10pm-12midnight, the people were there, but with slow shutter speed around 5-30sec you can easily get rid of people in motion.

#2 is stunning !

With such a long exposure did you not have trouble with noise?

Thank you.

Noise is there, but as long i was shooting at ISO 100 then the noise was minimal or almost clean, but with night shots and underexposed shots the noise level can be significantly there even at low ISO.

WOW, you still ask if those are HDRs, so you couldn't see if they are HDRs or not? I posted them on this HDR section/forum.

They are beautiful. I love to see images from far away lands as nice as these, thank you for sharing!

These are really really nice. I'm jealous. How did you get these to be so sharp and what programs did you use?

I love landscape photography as my favorite, but my first favorite that i started with was night shots before i make landscape as my fav, so i still love to shoot nightscapes.

To get sharp night shots use tripod, i have a strong tripod which helped a bit, also maybe the camera and the lens are great to have those nice sharp shots. I used Photomatix to produce HDR, then Photoshop for final adjustments.
