Not bad, Brad. I was doing night shots this evening, and I was surprised how tricky it was. I found I had to underexposed about one stop in manual mode to prevent the bright lights burning out. Problem is that the dark areas looked very dark. I found it best about 45 mins after sunset when there was still some light in the sky to help balance out the exposure. How long after sunset was yours shot?

I like it too.
I think that is the secret, Rob, need that little bit of ambient.
