Critique: Glenwood South night walk, 11 frames

A short night set on Glenwood Avenue: the neon frames hold up, the handheld skyline shots do not.

The set

Eleven frames from a forty-minute walk, Z6III with the 28mm at ISO 3200 to 6400. Four keepers.

What works

The barber shop pole reflected in a puddle, and the couple under the bakery sign. Both use one strong light source and let the rest fall into black.

What does not

The skyline frames from the end of the street are soft. Stabilization helps with the camera, not with people walking; at 1/8 s the figures smear and the frame reads as a mistake. Raise the ISO. Noise is fine at night; blur is not.
