You want to expose for just the right time. You want to avoid lens flares. You want to correct for any color over-saturation. You want it to be in focus, composed well.......But do I remember all of these things? No. Not usually.
I tend to get a little excited about the prospect of what I'm shooting, and not think about the details of what I need to do. I think relaxing while shooting is something I need to learn. I shouldn't put pressure on myself to "have" to get it perfect. (which I usually won't anyhow)
I guess when it's freezing cold and dark out it doesn't help me concentrate on that as well as I could I suppose.
Anyhow, I'm determined to get some nice Nighttime landscapes done in the near future. Here is a starting point I'll refer back to later. A cliche' HDR of the Boston Skyline that came out "ok" at best.
I don't care if it's a cliche HDR, I think the colors are beautiful. :-))

Well done!
