>>3007365Hey thanks! I do portrait/headshot photography so it's always nice to improve with hobby stuff. This is at 30 second exposure at f5, ISO 100 and 17mm focal length. If you set the aperture too low then you let in more light but you make that depth of field really shallow, and you want most of the foreground to be at least closer to focus. This one is at f2.8 to slightly blur out the roof in the foreground. Composition isn't great on this one though.
90% of the photo is out of the camera, 10% is in post. Problem is, 10% of the quality of a picture comes out of the camera, and 90% of it is fine tuning in Lightroom. The stars and colour in the sky is mostly brought out in Lightroom since this is a single exposure, but nothing crazy really. Bring down the whites and the blacks, lighten the shadows, bump up the luminosity and saturation of the blue and purple channels to get the colour in the sky and badabing badaboom
