Hey guys, I like to shoot after sunset, usually +1h max. I tried to capture the details of night city, but i think i failed. Apart from my mistakes, what can i upgrade to get better results with X-T3 sensor?

btw. XF 50-140 is out of budget

Regards

Did you dial in -1 EV on purpose ? Why not leave exposure correction at 0 instead?

If this is a raw file, you could use Fuji X-Raw Studio (or download for free), import the file, change your camera settings on the computer and check what the impact on your picture is... exposure compensation / increase, contrast, dynamic range, colour used...

I think you really underexposed it, like others said, use a higher ISO and short(er) exposure time or an even longer exposure. Maybe one hour after sunset was a bit late, too...

One upgrade idea: a cable release - costs nothing, you can determine the exposure time as you think it should be and you can make as many shots as you want with digital (well, until it's fully dark anyway).
