On March 15, 2017, my wife bought a new car and in the evening, our whole family drove for a ride. I sat in the passenger seat and captured the night view of Urumqi. Due to the bumpy driving process of the vehicle, many photos are unclear and there are many discarded photos

Ah, the difficulties of taking images from a moving vehicle (or any other mode of transportation!). With such a slow shutter speed this image came out pretty good! The red light at the left edge of the image is distracting to my eyes. I made a more tight crop so that the focus is on the road ahead for your consideration. Made a few adjustments to highlights, shadows and added some dehaze for your consideraton. Posted: 12/13/2023 11:57:01
Congratulations for the new car and I appreciate your making images in a moving vehicle. The red light to extreme left and another to extreme right are distracting me. The arrow and other markings on the road lead my eyes in. Posted: 12/13/2023 16:55:18
Thank you for your handling result. It looks much better indeed. Posted: 12/14/2023 07:21:13
I used ultra-high sensitivity and it is now very clear. Taking photos while moving is also what I want to take, Posted: 12/14/2023 21:29:40
Hopefully you were leaning out of the car window, safely! I like Gary's crop, and it could even use less black sky.
I'm not sure if this qualifies as a PT image, not having been there myself, is it distinctive enough? Posted: 12/26/2023 14:15:26
