View from the Hill

My first attempt at a long exposure from the hills overlooking Orange County just after sunset. Used my new tripod. Excited to have captured my first light trails but I think I should have gone with an even longer exposure to nail the lights.
This is a wonderful shot of nighttime and the busy-ness of Orange County. Like the freeway light streaks. You got this one right!! Great shot.

Beautiful!! So glad you are having fun with your new tripod and long exposures! I love nighttime photography, and have joined a new group that focuses primarily on photographing later in the day. I need to get a good remote shutter trigger, though....

This is great -- I thought it was from a plane til I read your commentary. You could lower the ISO a little more so you could expose it longer without blowing out the lights.

@abhijit Thanks for stopping by! @taffy Thanks for that tip about lowering the ISO and lengthening the exposure. I'll try that.
