2013 11 Nov 10 Post Sunset 01a

Vancouver's H.R. MacMillan Space Center just past sunset on Sunday November 10 2013.

This is a new digital photography technique that I'm trying out. First I super cool the white balance on my camera down to 2500K. This is as low as my Nikon D300 will go and filters out much of the zombie-orange color cast that modern street lights create. I then take 5 exposures (on a tripod) from 1.3 seconds to 20 seconds in length (at f/6.3 in this case). I then merge these 5 images into one high dynamic range image and post process that image in yet in another program.

A lot of work but the results are worth it. Imaging having a pair of night vision goggles that could give you a color image like this?
