This reminds me of the pleasures of night photography with film, brackets, weird unpredictibility, extraordinary contrast, forty minute exposures, etc. Not to mention that it was near impossible with color film unless you like weird color casts. I have to admit that digital is a service to humanity much like penicillin or the wheel.
I think you've found your niche, Ken. Without looking to see who shot the image, I can recognize your nighttime streetscapes of Fallbrook, as I can recognize Mike's sunsets. They call to mind Edward Hopper's paintings - lonely and thought-provoking, allowing the viewer to fill in the blanks. Nice job.
