Since buildings at night tend to have a very high dynamic range I figured I should get better results with HDR than without. I certainly wasn&#8217;t wrong. What you do have to bear in mind is that exposures will be long and you&#8217;ll need a lot of them. I actually pushed the camera as far as it would go in both directions of exposure compensation to get some of these shots.
