Love me some night photography! Like some have said, some of it is experimentation. If you do use a tripod, inevitably, there will be something to screw up your shot when using long shutter speeds.

Something to bear in mind, too, is the effect of backlighting; especially in city scenes. You can sometimes use brighter lights behind the buildings in your FOV to highlight or accent certain background areas more. Also be aware of where hotspots will shot up.

Tripods are fun...




...but, I like night hand held shots better although it does require a bit of patience. I find them more rewarding.

Great shots Jeff, especially the first one. I love shooting through the blue hour.

Some nice shots there, very sharp and detailed.
I'd be tempted to play around with the white balance in the first 3 shots to take some of the yellow out.

Agreed. Great composition, but color is a bit over the top for me, but I realize that sells. 68 looks like the horizon may be off a degree or so.
