This is the Pasadena City Hall in CA. I have always been a big fan of architecture and the way light impacts building details and edges. So I recently purchased my Canon 50D and decided to shoot only on manual setting so that i get sufficiently frustrated and learn exposure setting and the impact the hard way.

I was driving around at night after leaving a friends going away party and wanted to try my camera out at night. This was on of the best shots so I thought I would share.
