This is an incredible photo you submitted to the #colorfulreflections challenge. I'm sorry I didn't crown it the winner but it definitely deserves recognition for placing in my top ten of my favorites folder (out of over 1500 entries).

Location
The photo is taken in Amsterdam, right next to the red light district. It's a beautifull spot to shoot in the eveningTime
The photo is taken during the blue hour. For me it's the best moment to shoot in the city's because you have still a nice balance between the city lights and the shadows.Lighting
I shoot it with multiple exposures to blend the citylights in perfectly.Equipment
I shoot with a Fujifilm X-T2 and the Xf 10-20mm lens. I shot it with multiple exposures. I stacked them in lightroon with the hdr function and made some Manuel tweeks after that.Inspiration
I just like this spot in the city because a of the lights and the church in the background.Editing
It's a blend of 5 exposures by using the hdr function in lightroon. After the I did some color corrections and added contrast.In my camera bag
My camera the Fuji X-T2 and my three lenses xf 10-20, xf 18-55 and the xf 55-200 Off course I also bring my tripod and a remote control.Feedback
For me the most important thing in city shots to balance the highlights and the shadows. You just don't want burned highlights and pitch black shadows. By using multiple exposures you can make sure you have all the data to make a nice exposed image.
