I liked the B&W series. But I feel having more objects in composition for B/W night shot would help. For example, 2nd last image looks well balanced, while last image is dark in most places. (OR may be its my monitor as I am in office and this monitor is not at all calibrated)
I liked the 6th one with train standing on station.

It is not your monitor... The dark's are over powering the shot... I will work on that next time I do similar shots... Thank you for your input!

Brutus,

Really good captures.... :)

Could you explain about the STAR effect of the lights....??? :?:
Were you able to achieve it with a single shot or did you play around to get the correct aperture...??? :?:

Higher apertures like f/22 will give those star effects on street lights.

It depends on the number of aperture blades the lens has.

It's the general consensus, but not necessarily so. Some lenses will starburst at much smaller apertures. I have a particular one that will do it at f/4. It's all to do with the iris construction.

I think my question wasn't clear whant i want to know is : how many blades/Leaves your lens should have to get a 14 petal starburst, because i dont know a lens with 14 blade iris (not atleast Nikon 18-200 or 50mm), so there seems to be some other relation.

The magic number you're looking for is 7.
