This is a unique shot of Kotor, Montenegro showing the illuminated fortification wall built centuries ago to protect the city from a land invasion. I took the picture from the other side of the Bay of Kotor with a 24-105mm lens. In order to show the detail in the mountains and, at the same time, not grossly overexpose the lights, I had to use HDR with a three f/stop increment between frames. This is a three frame composite. My ISO was 800 and the lens aperture was f/5. The white balance I chose was daylight.

Jim - Hi Bob, Thank you. The mid-shutter speed was 1.6 seconds.

Bob Vestal - Beautiful image with such a nice reflection of the lights in the bay. The result of this three frame HDR composite is a reminder to consider using HDR at night. What were your three shutter speeds?
