Night Residence Halls after Nightfall

Residence Halls after Nightfall · 07:29 PM

Hey guys! Here are some pictures I took of the dorms on my University campus about two hours after dark the other night. I was still learning how aperture affected starburst at the time. Also, I wanted more traffic blur in the one with the road, but not many cars came by until right after I packed up my camera. You know how that goes.

I took these with my K-x and the 18-55 kit lens on a cheap tripod from the top of my school's parking garage. Constructive criticism is very welcome guys! I have only been into photography for a short time and really like to learn about it!

Nicely done. Good exposures and good job on the starbursts. Also glad you kept the vertical lines, well, vertical.

Thank you! Hopefully I can take the same shots again once I get my k5!

Just a thought, when doing your PP drop back the brightness a fraction and increase the contrast and that should increase the sharpness and liven up the tonal quality.

I will definitely give that a try! Thanks for the tip!
