Oppose The bright lights make everything behind the highway hazy, unfortunately. I think this view would work better during early blue hour than late blue hour (I'm assuming you live on the East Coast and forgot to change your time zone?). 38 minutes past sunset is really late so close to the winter solstice, so I would probably do something closer to 20 minutes. This would allow the ambient light to have some chance of competing with the extremely bright lights of the sports field, i.e. the haze is still there but in photography everything is relative so a shorter exposure will reduce the absolute amount of haze that reaches your sensor. Also, the sky is a bit noisy and it would probably be better if the airplane trails were removed. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:21, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
Comment Thanks for the feedback. I took another photo 7 minutes earlier but unfortunately strong winds caused the tripod to vibrate a bit. You are right that much better lighting is achieved 20 minutes earlier, but the lighting changes so quickly that I can only take one or two photos during that time. This particular lens is also prone to lens flares, so I might use a different lens next time. By the way, I disagree that airplane trails should be removed. It wouldn't be an honest depiction of the scene. dllu (t,c) 00:00, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

I withdraw my nomination. I'll try to take a better photo from this vantage point when I have time. dllu (t,c) 07:37, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
