Nice cityscape! I like the colors and lighting in the one in the demo folder better, though.

I like the one in the demo folder. Another benefit of bringing down the exposure is that your colours become richer and more beautiful. jrdu

Thanks for the comments Jerry. This was indeed 2 exposures stacked. I also purposefully blew the highlights in post-processing to make the image more about the light. I'll admit that I don't really like the result. I posted a less heavy-handed conversion in the demo folder.

Very moody shot, again, Tyler. Great cloud detail, and I love your toning work.
* I might try it with less exposure. One of my own pet peeves with many night shots is that the lights are often blown out too much. On the other hand, you might lose a lot of the great cloud detail with less exposure. This might be a good candidate for stacking two or more shots to increase dynamic range.
