Thanks for the compliments everyone! Dorothy, you have to shoot shots like this before it gets completely dark or the sky just goes black. Start with a tripod. I spot-metered the exposure on the sky at fifteen seconds at f/22, and then set my camera at 6 seconds at f22 to get a good dark sky. With this type of shot, I find that the exposure for the lights is fairly forgiving. I just watch the LCD on the back of the camera to make sure that they don’t get too badly overexposed. Have fun! #576812
