Long exposure at night will deepen tones. I probably bumped the saturation as well on this shot.

Victorians and South Australians are bracing for a day of catastrophic and extreme fire risk, with temperatures set to soar to the low 40s in both states.
A bushfire that began last Thursday is still burning out of control in Victoria, north-west of Ballarat, with firefighters now preparing for further blazes.
A catastrophic fire rating has been confirmed for Wimmera, and other areas in the state's south-west are being monitored and could be escalated from extreme to catastrophic.
More than 600 firefighters from Victoria and New South Wales have been deployed in the region to help combat the spread of fire.
About 160 of the firefighters and other staff spent the night at a fire operations base camp in Ballarat.
Incident controller Steve Grant told ABC the crews worked through the night to contain the blaze, but that the worst could still be yet to come.
"It's going to be a very bad day," Mr Grant told ABC Radio Ballarat on Wednesday morning.
"It's already blowing at about 15 to 20 kilometres, and it's quite warm this morning.
"Catastrophic is the worst conditions we can get."
Emergency Management Commissioner Rick Nugent said the fire would continue to burn for "a long time".
"It will burn for a long time, down deep in old trees and whatever," he told ABC Radio Melbourne.
"Crews have just done an amazing job on the ground over the last little while trying to put out that fire, to contain that fire, but the risk is, with the heat and the wind, that embers are blown forward and then start spot fires."
Residents have been strongly advised to prepare their bushfire plans and be prepared to evacuate if necessary.
Mr Heffernan urged people intending to stay and defend properties in areas where the catastrophic conditions were forecast to reconsider.
"Unless your property is immaculately prepared and you have firefighting resources available, and you are fit and you are mentally capable to sustain a long duration fire fight … my strong advice to the community is leave early," he said.

Central Ontario Canada
+8C overcast, risk of thunderstorms
The weather is just bonkers here! And for some reason the power went out and my genny kicked it, and while it’s nice having the generator it is very noisy. I wonder why the power went out? It’s not stormy - yet…
