Forum rules
 | This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

I made a first attempt at a nightshot. I am curious about your opinions.

First of all, it is not sharp. Probably you made this shot while holding the camera in you hand. Due to a long exposure time you will get movement of the camera almost every time. Try to find yourself a tripod or keep it steady in/on a fence or something.
Second point is more subjective, but I like the colorsetting and temperature of the photo. Some might say it is too 'yellow' due to the lights surrounding the aircraft, but it seems to me that you adjusted a bit for that already (it could maybe use just a tad extra adjusting). That looks good to me.
So; next time try to find a place (most preferable would be a tripod or something of the likes) to keep your camera still and you'll be okay.

A lot of people will probably not like the colors, but I do, because it represents the way things look under platform lighting. (Like my nightshot from EHEH in this forum).
The pic ain't even close to sharp though. I do suppose you used a tripod, but maybe it was on an object that moved, or there may have been too much wind.
What I like to do is find a place where my tripod can stand directly on the ground. I understand that this is impossible on the panorama terace ofcourse, but on top of a building is second best. At least don't put it on any other object (unless you have to ofcourse), because even though you may not notice, but things (even tall buildings) move in the wind.
Secondly, try to find a place where there is as little wind as possible. Again, you may not notice it, but your tripod moves in the wind.
Thirdly, use your tripod in the lowest possible configuration. The lower it is, the less wind it experiences.
Fourthly, use either the timer of your camera, or us a remote control, but never ever touch you camera when releasing the shutter.
Fifthly, try different apperture settings. Of course if you use a large apperture, the shutter speed will increase, enhancing the chance of a sharp picture. I usually use the A-setting of my camera and try different appertures, choosing the best pic afterwards.

It's a pitty the picture is not sharp....next time better luck and keep in mind all the advise that has been given in previous posts than you will surely succeed.
Bearing in mind the weatherforecast I decided to go during the day instead of at night which was intentionally my plan.

Which camera uses you? For example, with live view you can really see the result with manual focus!
