Would you share what the exposure times were?

[jstpeter]

Mike the longest was 30 seconds the shortest was 2 seconds I adjusted the shutter speed until I gained a quarter stop on the incamera meter and took another photo.

Other than the subject matter (), a nice image. Does the tower look more orange to the naked eye? The longer exposures, or maybe my uncalibrated monitor, make the lights look red. Combined with the green, it could make for a nice Christmas card.

Great shot Jason. I'm enjoying all your sharing!

Interesting - Looks pretty close to the Orange that I saw in person on my monitor. Long exposure may have had something to do with it but for the tower piece I used one of the shorter end exposures as to not blow out the windows and clock. The lights below actually are that green.

Why was it lit orange with the #1 arrangement?

[petrolera]

cuz we are #1 :-) do we need any reason? heheheh

[jstpeter]

The tower was lit to signify the national championship the mens swimming and diving team won. They do this for any nat champ.
