A stab at night photography

[KeithnFW]

I'm not comfortable shooting something that is not carrying a football (sports) or flying 400mph (jets) but Roy here inspired me to step out tonight and shoot a little. . . I know the angles of the buildings are askew but other than that. . . how are they? I also tried diffferent photoshop filters.

First Methodist in downtown Fort Worth


And the Tarrant Co. Courthouse

I like the courthouse. You did a good job not blowing the highlights and still maintaining some detail. I do wish, however, that you'd left the EXIF intact. :-)

Very nice Keith, especially with the conditions out tonight. Glad you got inspired and got around to posting so fast. I also wish my stuff had come out so good!

I think the Courthouse shot is beautiful.
Great job.
