Tried a bit of Night Photography the Other Day

Made a trip over to Tampa the other night and took a few night shots of the downtown skyline. It was an enjoyable and instructive outing from which I learned several things to apply to future such attempts. All that said, here's a few samples of what I was able to capture:

This was shot just before the sun slipped below the horizon:



This is what things started looking like once the sun was completely down:



This shot resulted from letting the shutter stay open a bit longer to pull in as much ambient light as possible:



I like the reflections in the river in this shot:



And by panning slightly to the right I was able to add the glow of street lights in the trees on the other side of the river:



This one was shot from the opposite side of the downtown area:
