Sorry Seb - I'm gonna have to call these a learning experience. You don't get portfolio shots everytime you go out, but hopefully you see something or learn something that will help you out one day. And you learned about night exposures.

Think about learning to do this with slide film (as I did...): You shoot and take notes because that's the only way you'll know what you did when the film comes back. Try it, wait a few days for the results, see what worked and what didn't. Think about how to get better results and start the process over again. Rolls of film (and dollars) later, you'll see some improvement - but with digital you know right now.

There are usually interesting architectural details on buildings that are good to keep an eye open for with buildings like this too.
