    Last low light taken with my D50...

    Took this in San Francisco with my D50 and my Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 lens recently. Let me know what you think.

    I think you got the exposure just fine but I have trouble with the composition as my eye keeps wanting to follow the walkway towards the bottom and it gets cut off abrubtly.
    Could have used less sky and more foreground, I think unless there was a wall or something.
    Seems to be tilted right too.
    Keep Shooting!

    I have to agree with Frog on the eye wanting to follow the walkway. and it does have a slight tilt to the right.
    Looks nice.

    I'm a sucker for night photos, and I also agree with Frog. Less sky more foreground would've done this wonders. As is right now, u can crop some of the sky out and that will make it stronger. Also, I think the colour balance isn't there. You should shoot these type of nice shots using the incandescent setting on your cam or changing it later if you were shooting raw. I still think it's very nice and a good place to shoot some more!

    Nice exposure. I would like to see less sky and something to hold my interest in the foreground. I feel the buildings that start on the left hand side of the photo and extend into the middle overpower the skyline.
