Description
One of my first tries with night photography. I took my bike through the center of Copenhagen at around 3 AM in the morning, and took a huge number of photos. Not a lot of them were nice, but this view from Langebro towards the shopping center Fisketorvet turned out really great, if I should say it myself
As always, I would love to hear what you think
You can see a larger view of the harbor area from the same location here:
EDIT: Uploaded a new file with reduced noise, thanks to ~Zaxariadis for the help

What should I have done differently to do this better? All technical comments are greatly appreciated, since this was my first time at doing night-time photography.
Non-technical comments are of cause also welcome - I would really like to hear what this photo means to you: What does it make you think of?

if reduce iso down to 100 and I think it would end up about a 30 second exposure at f/5.6 would reduce the digital noise dramtically and reduce any post processing needed to reduce noise. That is if not trying to shoot hand held and have a decent tripod handy.
You have done exceptionally well for your first time doing night photography.

It's wonderful. It's even better, because it's night shot. Aww, I love that city a lot. Good work!

Nice shot.
Just a tip, i am using when I am shooting night (I am not a pro. I am no eve close to this).
Lower the ISO to reduce noise and use a tripod to be able to use longer exposure times. I am also closing the Aperture for deeper field of view but this requires further exposure.
The other thing is the post processing.
Inevitable, shoots taken under low light conditions will have some noise. you can remove this in Photoshop and tune the curves and Hue/Saturation to achieve the result you like...
A denoised example of your shot can be found here [link] (Topaz Denoise 3) ...
Best of luck!

Low ISO and a tripod was something I used 
Wonderful example of how the photo can be cleaned up! I will definitely work a bit more with that, thank you!

Good one. Yeah, night photography can get you really nice pics. What I usually do, I turn down the ISO and go for a slower shutter speed. I think this helps keep noise lower. Especially in that orangey glow it seems I get most noise. Don't know if you've tried it, but it's something you could experiment with.

yes I did try to keep the ISO as low as possible

Flot arbejde, siger jeg som en der intet ved om fotografering, men det ser altså godt ud

Jeg kan se fisketorvet!
Det er faktisk et rigtig godt billede med et flot perspektiv, men desværre så er det altså lidt sløret. Det samme sker for mig, problemet er, at få fundet det rigtige kamera. :S
Held og lykke!

Det var jo nu engang den første gang jeg har forsøgt mig med nattefotografi

Det er helt i orden jeg mente ikke at være kritisk!
Det er et meget flot billede i sammenhæng med, at det er første gang du tager billeder om natten.
Kvaliteten kræver som sagt et kamera og viden. Det tager sin tid, jeg er selv ved at lære det.
Og held og lykke med panorama projektet

jeg opfattede det slet ikke som noget negativt, bare rolig
