I've just returned for a holiday and have a few pics to share. To start with these are night shots from my hotel room in Beijing, China.

Personally i would've lengthen shutter speed to capture more saturation of lights, looks like about 4-5 seconds shutter??? I would try 25-30seconds, it will absorb more.

These were only about 1.5 seconds. I tried some longer ones (about 6 seconds) but preferred these shorter ones, as you could see the distinct cars. 30 second shutter would have gave a different effect again.

Thanks

Wow, a travelling photographer - I'm so jealous of your lifestyle... ;) The Petronas twin towers in your avatar, and Beijing at night in your post. :)

I don't travel often, but I enjoy it when I do. I've got a couple more photos to post soon.

I was a bit disappointed with reflection but it makes an OK avatar.

Err... Do you mean the Petronas towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia?
