Night Light II.

There is a special time, at dusk, where the light in the sky is the same exposure as the lights on the street and in the houses. This was a little past that special time. For those of you who want to try this at home, it's usually just after sunset (or just before sunrise if you can get up early). You can get a great looking sky if you set your white balance to tungsten (usually it looks like a little light bulb). If you do this before sundown, everything will look blueish. If you wait until after sunset, only they sky should be blue and the rest will look normal. Just put your camera on a tripod, turn off the flash, and get ready for a long exposure. I think this one was about 30 seconds.
