Not much to say about this one: I, as much as the next guy, love a good sunset. I can’t honestly think of a better way to end the day. You may well find several of these to be in an eminently painterly style, too. Enjoy! MT

Great set Ming. Love the last image.
Thanks Dan.
Ming, what’s your take on the current long exposure noise issue currently circulating regarding the D810. I’m having a hard time seeing it as an issue with long exposure noise reduction taking care of it in camera. I wondered what you thought and what method you use to produce your clean nigh time shots. Thanks Paul
I use a tripod. Haven’t seen any issues yet, even with many minute astro experiments. Yet my camera is supposedly part of the affect serial block, so I suppose I’ll have to look into getting it sorted out some point…
Amazing photos!
Thanks!
Super photos. Thank you !
You’re welcome.
Beautiful to enjoy viewing, inspiring to shoot some more…

Thanks.
Inspires me to collect some urban evenings of my own
The hint of last light breaking through in number 9 does it for me. Nice end of day…
Thanks!
Ironically, the third photograph is the most to my liking, and it largely is a sepia (or something akin to it) silhouette. The darker buildings against the more distant, taller and lighter buildings. Sunsets don’t have to have lots of colors to be great.
Agreed – it’s all about the atmosphere, which is heavily influenced by color and our subconscious reaction to it. Too much variety can actually land up being confusing.
I agree Jack. There’s such a tranquility to the scene. It makes me feel warm, secure and peaceful.
Thanks Gerner.
What I like best about this set is the apparent reproduction of the human visual system’s response, these look real to me, as opposed to the often over-saturated, cliche blaze of super colors or the unnatural tonal balance of land and sky. Nicely done.
Thank you – that’s always the aim.
very awesome.
Very beautiful
Impressive. If I’d the money, I’ll be willing to pay for a couple of Ultraprints!
Thank you.
The “painterly” link is 404-error. Maybe it’s a planned post not released yet?
Oops. I’ll fix it when I’m back at a computer. Sorry.
Reblogged this on BLOGTENDI.
Awesome. Looks like you did a little Toronto rooftop. Great stuff.
Thanks – never been to Toronto (though I’d love to) – it’s from a building in Kuala Lumpur.
Oooooh. Whoops. I look pretty ignorant here. Haha. Looks similar to another building I’ve seen a bunch of times in Toronto.
That would be the CN tower – easy mistake to make, they look pretty similar.
