Oh, the same whitening tendency can be seen in the green traffic lights in the image. |

This month I have continued to take evening photographs. As a result, I have become sensitized to a phenomenon that "mars" this month's submission. The issue is that generally the color of overexposed objects tends towards, and eventually becomes white. In my image above, parts of the tail lights of the cars look orange, and in the central car, large areas are white. These should all be red. For stationary objects, the "whitening" problem can be addressed by exposure bracketing, but I don't see an easy way to deal with it for a timed exposure of a moving subject. |

Here is something fairly close to what you were interested in. This seems to be more about the tail lights rather than the onset of evening. |

Some of images I collected are what you suggest, and they could well appeal to many. Maybe with a greater artistic sense, I would prefer this as well. In my present state of development however, I prefer to have a balance among the sky and skyline, the row of illuminated signs, and the movement of the cars. |

Light that passes close to an edge is diffracted and spreads out somewhat from its incoming beam. When the majority of the light involved passes close to an edge, as happens when one's lens aperture is small, this diffracted light somewhat blurs the image. Typically such blurring becomes noticeable at around f/16 with our DSLR's. Possibly this is the reason that, as Judy says, all the pilings are somewhat blurred, and we feel that the surrounding water is not blurred because we don't expect to see fine detail in water or waves. |

I have heard that hair is one of the hardest subjects to represent in digital animation. The fact that Dorinda's, Judy's, and mine (not shown) all show the horses' coats quite differently is consistent with this idea. Of the three, Dorinda's seems the most realistic to me. Technically speaking, I thought catchlight was the reflection off the eyeball. In these images I see eyebrows nicely defined, but no reflections. I like the effect of emphasizing the eyebrows. |

I have shots close to what you suggest, but the resulting very long red lines change the subject from an evening city scene to the red lines themselves. I see what you and Dorinda mean about the crop and I agree that cropping from the bottom improves the image, but I would prefer to crop only half as much as you and Dorinda suggest. The reason I don't want to remove more is that any more impinges upon the (implicit) car producing the nice red trail. |

What fantastic clouds. Everything is a bit dark. Here is a brighter version. |

I wonder if the water isn't as sharp as it seems. Alternatively, the red on that piling is pretty bright. If there is some light scattering in the optics, perhaps it would look like blurring. |

I am sorry. This is pretty far outside the range of image types that I feel qualified to comment on. Consequently, what I say should almost be ignored. A good many of the images I deal with feel quite different if the positioning, color, brightness, or shapes of their elements are altered. With my very limited training in art, I don't observe this familiar property with this image. |

Interesting colors all right. I don't understand how the closest piling can be blurred, but the water in front of and behind it can be sharply focused. |

I think this is great action. Taking this with a focal length of only 58 mm would have placed you awfully close to these heavy fast moving bodies. Were you safe? I played around a little with your original, but I could not make the coats glisten like you did. |

This seems like a spectacular picture, but I have some difficulty in fully appreciating it because the sun beams do not look real to me. |

It sounds like a most satisfying outing--and you came back with a nice picture. The angle or tilt makes all the difference in this. I think I like it a little brighter than you have it. For this I increased contrast in the mid tones and slightly increased saturation. |
