Info created by User:dllu - uploaded by User:dllu - nominated by User:dllu -- dllu (talk) 23:41, 17 June 2024 (UTC)- Info similar to existing FP File:SeattleI5Skyline.jpg but mine is taken more than a decade later (in 2018), with higher resolution and more dynamic range.

- If you are talking about the strange patterns of the light trails, they are not made by the camera settings. These days they occur in most long exposure photos of car lights since they now have LED lamps. You can see the patterns in this photo too. LEDs are not constant, but fast pulsating light sources that create these dotted or fluctuating lines when they move through a long exposure shot. Light from LED clusters (big lamps) can also interfere with each other's wavelengths and create weird shadows. With LEDs becoming more used, night photography will look different from now on. --Cart (talk) 10:01, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
- The lens is slightly sharper centrally at f/4 than at f/5.6 according to all reviews of the Voigtlander Apo Lanthar 65mm f/2, such as Lenstip. What's the goal of stopping down? To get more pronounced sunstars, to use a longer exposure time or higher ISO? Here, everything is far enough away that depth of field does not matter. I don't understand what "refraction on right lines" means.
- Anyway, in addition to what Cart mentioned about the LED lights, I must also point out that the Dr Jose P. Rizal bridge I was standing on is prone to vibration. You can see the effect of vibration manifesting as sinoisudal light trails in File:SeattleI5Skyline.jpg as well. Of course, this vibration also degrades sharpness throughout the image, making the discussion of sharpness even less relevant. I took a total of 85 photos from this spot and picked this one for a combination of good blue hour lighting and having one of the least vibration. dllu (talk) 16:00, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
Comment Talking about those lines which i annoted. Cars, LED, vibrance dont bother me. But those lines in sky. --Mile (talk) 17:50, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- Ah thanks for the annotations. I think those come from reflections in the filters (polarizer etc) that I was using and aren't related to the f-stop. Let me see if I can clone them out. dllu (talk) 18:01, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
Fixed, I've uploaded a new version with some small spurious reflections digitally removed. dllu (talk) 18:15, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

- Comment Well, like nobody saw them. I was strange but now i get it, more filters doesnt help always, so pic isnt so sharp as it could be. --Mile (talk) 08:48, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
