Gorgeous view!
Nice!
Those still look a little too saturated to me, but I wasn’t in your locale, did it look like that to your eye?
What I saw was more pastel-like than this - less contrast, softer tones.
Yeah it probably iPhones post processing 😅 And that was not visible like that to the naked eye. At max the green/turquoise veil at the bottom. Sometimes a little reddish purple.
How long was the exposure ? Feel like you used a long exposure or a high gain, and that it wasn’t that nice in real life
I had to use both since I don’t own a nice camera or lenses. I think exposure time was around 6 seconds. If you darken it by 2EV, it should be close to how it looked to the naked eye
You’d have to use a long exposure, right?
If it were film, I’d say a fully open aperture, long exposure, and a high ISO film? I’m not sure on the ISO part, just guessing a finer-grain film will look better with wide aperture and long exposure, and also more sensitive to light (as you can tell, I’m no photographer).
It does look a little bright, intense and saturated compared to what night looks like to the human eye. We lose the yellow spectrum, so browns in the ground are “right out”.
I guess the thing to do in processing is temper the yellows and saturation?
Yes, fully open aperture, long exposure (6"), and high ISO. I tried to recover the yellows that were (much) more apparent to the naked eye, and this made it look more saturated
