I agree, some great shots... also agree with Mandrake that the second could be improved my cropping some on the left side and maybe even straightening it a little.

Great shots Rachid! Do you have a tripod and a remote release? By stopping down to a
lower ISO and increasing your f stop and time you can get some really amazing results.
These are pretty amazing for ISO 3200 but you should try a longer exposure with a lower
ISO to see what happens. Hope to see lots more pics from you.

These are really nice.
The first and last beautifully depict the unusual architectural design of this building.
The second photo, I believe, could be improved by lightening shadows just a bit to reveal the church.
I would also crop the left side of the image to eliminate the superfluous tree and fence.

Hello everyone

I took these 3 photos as it is my first step in night photography. I am using a Nikon D3200 with 18-55mm lens. The settings are as follows - F5, 1/30 Sec. , ISO 3200, AWB set to Tungsten all in Manual Mode.
I know I have a long way ahead to learn and I feel that the best way to do so, is to share and get your comments/critics. Critics are always constructive and a great way to learn from our own mistakes. I took those photos in RAW and then converted/resized. I did not want to clutter the site.

Thanks

Regards

Rachid
