Challenge: City Nightscape (Advanced Editing VII)
Collection: 2011
Camera: Nikon D700
Lens: Nikon AF-S Nikkor 17-35mm f/2.8D IF-ED
Location: Mexico City, Mexico
Date: Aug 26, 2011
Galleries: Cityscape
Date Uploaded: Aug 27, 2011

A minute fraction of Mexico City as we were landing. Not a particularly beautiful section of the city, but there was a very low cloud cover, and I only got one or two shots clear of clouds.

This was an interesting experiment, as I'm using my mother's Mac, and everything is in a different place! I also couldn't get PS to Save for Web for some reason, so I just had to downsize it.

A departure from the majority and not typically DPC eye-candy. 'Eye' enjoyed it though... :)
I flew into Accra, Ghana at night a while back and it looked like a jewel from the sky. In the morning when I saw and smelled it I thought I'd flown into a toilet.

that's a different view, interesting as an abstract but I think it needs a stronger element going through the lights to keep your attention (know that you have no control over this).

Probably the only shot in the challenge to create a truly abstract image from a nightscape. It doesn't work for me personally without some reference that a little bit of natural lighting may provide - it is obviously large, but how large is large?
