they both look good. good job on the stitching. in the second is your horizon off a little? i keep lookin at it and can't tell if its slanted to the right a little or if im seeing things cuz of the distortion

just curious, i go to school in the city, and am there ALL the time, view looks super familiar.

Exif is gone, and I'm sure you cant pinpoint where its taken either lol.

Sick shots, at most I want to know how to get lights to be like stars on the first one.

efix dosent quite work on my mac. a simple save as, then rehost on flickr will tell you all details, but i dont care that much, im not one to steal someone elses photo, id much rather find a new location, take my own shots and edit them my way. i only asked the location because it looks very familiar

star effect looks like a high end single star filter, or an edit in photoshop

Some damn good pics you took there. The first one is by far my favorite.

im gonna have to highly go against a star filter. use a small aperture(high f number) and that should give you the star effect. the amount of aperture blades in the lens will give u the different amounts of points to the start look. anyone wanna back me up on this one?

lol, wont work. Youll get the iso and focal length, but the rest is gone.

Star filters make it look sick, especially on the moon.

Thats what I thought, but apparently it could be a filter (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/261683-REG/Cokin_CG350_Digital_Creative_Filter_Kit.html#acces sories) too.

idk, i digress.

HAH you guys will argue over anything... No star filter I shot it at F-10 i guess the high F stop has that affect on the lights..

Yeah high F stops create star effects on lights. Can you link me to your pictures? I am in the hospital and some of the pictures are blocked here.

its part of my studies to find out all i can about every photo, each photo has all of its info embedded into it

blue you said it was f/10

you shot with a d90, at an iso 200, f/13, in manual mode at 9:36 on october 13th. and i know your exposure time as well but you didnt want to post it so i will not, i am a digital photography and grafic arts/editing major all this is tought to me

They look pretty good. I like the second one the most. I always loved highway shots with a low shutter speed. The shots look a tad grainy though. Could you have used a lower ISO setting? The moon is way too overexposed IMO. The moon looks more like the sun than it does the moon. Nice location too. I don't see too many shots of Philly from that vantage point.

If you live in the Philly metro and don't know where that pic was taken....you need to get out more ;)

Seriously though, great pix!
