Thanks Don.
I took 5 shots with exposure times ranging from 5 seconds to 40 seconds all at f8. These were then merged into one image with Photomatix. A number of changes were made to the settings in Photomatix. Then the image was ran through the Nix Software's Viveza 2, tweaked again in Photoshop using a plug-in from FredMiranda.com (velvia vision), and finally a few more tweaks in Lightroom (noise reduction, increase in the "clarity" setting, and sharpening).
The shot was taken from the Chihuly Bridge of Glass. The proximity of the bridge to the station required a 13mm focal length to capture all of buildingling.
