<sub>Hillside view of Islamabad, Pakistan, taken from Margalla Hills, Pakistan on a cloudless night. (GPS: 33.746545, 73.061233)

Took this photo for a contest actually, but unfortunately I didn't win!

To create the photo, I used a Nikon D90 with the kit 18-105mm lens. I combined two shots with the same composition. A 2 minute exposure for the city lights, and a 1,500 (yes, that much) for the "star trails". There was some in those trails, but I got rid of it using Topaz DeNoise 5. I'm quite happy with the results I got, so I'd love to hear comments / critiques!
