Rush Hour
If you want to see how I made this (and how you can too!), visit my HDR Tutorial. I hope it gives you some new tricks!
The HDR technique is fantastic for night shots of cities. You would think that you could simply open up the shutter for a long time and let the light stream in. Well, you can do that, but what usually happens is that some parts are over exposed while others are not quite bright enough. Each of those lights down there in the busy city streets of Seoul, Korea, have different intensities. The lights from the offices are quite dim compared to the signs on the buildings and even the taillights on the cars. The HDR process allows each of the lights to come through at an acceptable level.

This is a fun one! What a view from up there...wherever "there" is, it's GR8 for this shot. Nice perspective. You really made it jump off my screen. Very nicely done.

Something about city night shots. All that humanity and colorful light. Interesting to me how geometrically beautiful some cities are.

definately very cool on the d2x size. all sorts of funny tidbits can be seen - the building with 9 sat. dishes and more than a dozen A/C units around the upper floors or is that some 'busy-ness' inside the hyatt hotel units??
did your nikon blow up after shooting the canon building across the street?
