Re: Night Skyline - San Diego, California
Thank you Donald... I think that one of the major faults of many night cityscape images is overexposure and losing the details in the bright areas.
I shot this using programmed exposure with a three shot bracket combined with a minus 1-stop exposure compensation.
After I pickdt the best exposure from one of the shots, I did some serious work in PP. I mostly used NIK Viveza-3. The control points allowed me to adjust specific areas of the image.

Re: Night Skyline - San Diego, California
Looks like a well done night image, Richard. Protecting the highlights is critical, as you and Donald have both mentioned.
I find that the image feels a bit "cramped" and I'm not loving the yellow colour cast, but that's always going to be an issue with mixed lighting night images.
