Really nice shot Carlos, almost no blown highlights. Great exposure!

I assume this is from Mt Nelson?

[Cap]

Thanks DM... the shot was taken almost at the top of Mt Wellington. Used the 80mm lens to zoom in to get most of the shot and minimise 'black' space.

Only PP was sharpening and some more saturation ;)

Great shot Carlos, the exposure it is spot on.
Manual progarm and remote?

Carlos, depending on the lens and the number of blades and their "roundness" closing right down to f/22, or whatever the lens goes to, can give more staring on the lights. EV -0.7 and f/13 is near as equivalent to f/16 so you could have probably gone f/22 and 30s (maybe a little longer) shutter.

[Cap]

Not sure why I had it at F13 really, usually my shots are f16. At dusk I usually have to go -0.3 or -0.7 on EV as it starts to overexpose the image during that time. I dont really go over f16 cos im concerned about diffraction... although I havent tried it on my Tokina yet.
