I think it's good. Shutter open for 13" seconds. The streak is a helicopter passing overhead.

Cool. You don't seems to have problems with 'hot pixels'. Does the camera get rid of those by using a black frame?

What are hot pixels? I just have a lowly A60 and a $8 tripod, heh.

Here's one I took from the 52nd floor of the Roppongi Hills tower overlooking Tokyo.

Camera: Sony F717, all auto settings, adjusted white balance in Photoshop to remove obvious window reflection (still visible). I unfortunately didn't bring my mini-tripod with me that night so I didn't have the best conditions. :( I think the shutter went for about 5 secs or so.

Edit: Ewww, Photoshop dimensions change really screwed with the sky on that one. I'll change that to the non-adjusted photo shortly.

Edit2: Ok, back to original dimensions (ie., big).

I like the reflection created from the light in the window onto the ice over the top of the snow. Great picture. :)
