Night view

This was an attempt at a night shot made under somewhat comical circumstances. My friends knew I wanted to photograph the night view of the city, so we strolled into a very upscale restaurant on the 77th floor of Kingdom Centre and said we were “just looking.” I waded through scores of diners and got to the windows, but found it pretty challenging with my little Sony. I’m hoping to get back there at night some time so I can try to take a proper capture of the city with a better shutter speed and aperture. The view is pretty dusty during the day but lovely lit up at night.

Sony DSC-RX100M2
1/13s f/4.9 at 37.1mm iso6400 full exif

A beautiful view of the city, Helen. Amazingly good quality for being shot through glass and at that ISO with a small sensor. It would be great if you could get the D800 up there. V

A lovely view. Sounds like a good excuse to get back to the restaurant.

Nice nighttime view! Not too noisy with the Sony but certainly worth a repeat visit! V
