Trying my hand at some long-exposure shooting. Spent the early evening at Montecasino's Piazza near the Teatro Theatre. Goal was to use the neon lighting, the crowds, and the textures of Montecasino's faux architecture and lighting to play with some long-exposures.
We even threw in a few graduated ND filters, to see what happened ... to see if we could get some detail out of dark skies.
This is the first shot I have post-processed. HDR style, with -2, 0, +2 exposures, ISO fixed at 100, aperture priority (f/16 to slow it all down).
