Very helpful, Mahesh. I took pictures at different time like you said, but just don't know how to do that in PS. Thanks for the tutorial.
One little detail I like to add (if you don't mind), if you like to take sunset/Night photography, do it in Winter. This is the time the sun sets at 4-5 PM, and people still working at their offices, which make the building lights look obvious.
Thank you Mahesh for your fine work and instructions. I sure could have used this at False Kiva. Can't wait to give it a try. My big problem, trying to find a big City-type scene out here in nowhere, usa.
Excellent work on both the tutorials Mahesh. As a relative beginner to photography all help and advice is much appreciated. It would be a shame to loose these tutorials, and any future ones , to the sands of time, FM please put these tutorials somewhere safe... Who knows it might even encourage more photographers to share their knowledge.
I just fished through your website. Absolutely amazing images - top notch. It really gives me something to aspire to!
I know its a bit of a dull question but I'd be really interested to know what gear you use?
After looking at your gallery it firmed up my resolve for another early morning drive north in search of a good sunrise in the Peak District! Thanks again

What an absolutely fantastic image of Seattle! And thank you for the great tutorials.
I tried printing the first HDR one out for future reference since I don't currently own PS, but the don't seem to be able to get the images to print properly. Must be a printer setting issue or something. I'll just save them as an HTML file.

Nice tutorials . I have PSE3 and Grants Tools for curves . I guess I could do levels flatten then do Grants tools for curves right ?
Thanks Don
Not really sure, Don. I've neverused Elements or Grants Tools. Perhaps someone else here can answer this question.
I dig your tutorials mate, well done. You really ought to consider writing a dummies book on landscape photography because your steps are so clear cut.
I have not done landscape but in two weeks time I am going away to Apollo Bay and I'm going to take lots of images and apply your techniques learnt in this tutorial and the HDR one.
Plus the images in your gallery are spectacular.
Also Did you apply similar techniques for your landscape images on your gallery ?

Thanks, Veeral. I've applied this technique to many of my night cityscapes, but I don't use it all the time. Only on those rare occasions where the sunset sky is especially beautiful do I use the steps outlined in this tutorial. The downside to this technique (if you don't have 2 camera bodies/tripods) is that your camera is fixed to one location and you can't move it to capture other aspects of the scene which may look promising. You've basically committed yourself to possibly get just one shot that evening.
Here are a few examples of when I've used this technique:
