    For me it's about 99% luck. Two more night exposures. This photo is a two minute exposure where my son stepped out for a smoke. Bloody smokers. The second is a shot of the neighbors balcony.

    I increased the vibrancy on the top one a bit for sure. Maybe a bit too much now that I look at it.
