Must be interesting to watch the show, always wondered how this actually pans out when you are there??

For me - and this is possibly a personal thing - the white balance is way off. If you could provide the RAW for the last image I woul dbe very keen to have a play with it??

Thanks for posting!!

Thanks Deed. I use long exposures (30sec) so the real thing might not be that much dramatic but always nice to watch. Reg. WB I used awb and adjusted some in post to get that very nice greens in the Lights. So your observation was a good one.

Comment on post-processing... if your desire was to bring out the greens of the lights there are other ways to do that besides changing the WB. I'd be interested to see what you would get if you set the WB to something proper for a normal night sky shot and then brought out the greens by using something like the HSL panel to bring out the greens.

Thanks Mike! No expert in LR so will give that a go. Never used HSL. Guess I could use masking of only the Lights to.
