Artistic night view

Last night was cold and clear. Great weather to take some nightly photos! I decided to go out and take some photos in my neighborhoods. Snow covers everything so views were quite different. I took my Canon EOS 1100D with me and I shoot many photos. Today I will share one of those shots which I made quite artistic look alike.

This shot is taken with tripod. I used Canon EOS 1100D and EF-S 18-55mm DC III lens. ISO speed was 400, max aperture value were f/3.5 when the focal length was 18mm.

This shot is merged from 3 different shots with different exposure values. I merged this HDR-image with Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 and Nik Software - HDR Efex Pro. I used some HDR effects because I wanted this HDR-image look artistic. Sky was orange when city lights colored it and here you see how much those lights really colored the sky! I also wanted to get all those nice shadows up on the snow. I hope you like this one!
