This is the classic view of the San Diego skyline. This image is actually a blend of four different photos. I blended several exposures together to get the best mix of ambient and artificial light.

I made this photo as part of a short video course “How To Shoot Cityscapes” coming to ON1 Plus. The course includes the field work to capture the frames, the post processing to blend them, and the why behind each step. If you’re a member of ON1 Plus, watch for this course. It should arrive sometime in November.
