Photographers: Photograph a Day

Why the data was posted? Was my shot bad or something?

It was a bit on the bright side but i posed the data because of Dirty's comment

it seems that the shutter was not open long but it was open for a bit that night.

he was just checking the exposure time on each shot. D.O.'s shutter speed was .5 second and yours was 15 and even though D.O.'s shot had a wider aperture your shutter being open for such a long time made this picture a little over exposed(bright)

Yea I guess but I'd rather have a longer shutter speed and lower iso rather than shorter shutter speed and higher iso. Having a really high iso just seems really grainy to me which is why i try to keep my iso as low as i can.

This is true, its just that your shot was a bit overexposed like JessAlba452 said, 12-13sec instead of 15sec might have been spot on for that shot.. The histogram is your friend, i gauge most of my shots off of it unless there is a particular look i was going for with a shot(overexposed or underexposed).. I must say the night rolling shot came out well though, im still tryin to get the hang of nighttime rolling shots..

Wow Dean that is an awesome shot!!!

Maybe 12 sec instead of 15 would have been juuust right.

Took a little time to edit the pic...

Yea yall are right. I was just trying to hurry up and take a shot because of the security was asking us to leave. Also that was the one and only shot I took of that spot so I didnt really get a chance to try different settings out. Btw the edited pic looks much better. I dont have photoshop yet so I havnt gotten a chance to process these pictures.
