Night reading

I have often looked at the library all lit up and wanted to take photos of it. I always thought I would take them later at night but I think the light in the sky is maybe better than black sky.

    i don't prefer black skies either but the contrast between the sky and dark lighted building looks a little bit surreal. If you have a tripod i would suggest to have some shot with it. What you can do is shoot more shots with different times and merge them together to 1 file. Like HDR technique. That means you shoot the sky at the right exposure, the building, the bright lights and foreground. Combine them and your shot is well exposed :-) A tripod is a must tho.. Sharpness will increase too. Thanks for your comment

    You were absolutely right.
    One point: I am missing some sharpness. You need to use a tripod at this time.
