Ahhhhh, what does this have to do with the OP's question?


Even I got the point - any shot with longer exposure might register times a neon has flicked off or on, not being a steady point of light. Or air, or any of the other points others have mentioned.

I think you may have this backwards. A short shutter speed may record during the "off" part of the cycle. A longer shutter speed will help. This is why before anti-flicker technology, the rule of thumb for shooting in light that is not continuous (quartz, halogen, fluorescent, neon, LED, etc) was to keep the exposure to less than 2X the cycle frequency to avoid flicker effects. In the US that would mean 1/125 second or slower.

Hello;

Yes the shot was taken from the West End Overlook. Everyone seems to agree that it is a combination of camera movement and imperfect focus. I will continue to work at it and see what I can improve.

My software says you are using f/10 and ISO200. I don't understand why you would do that when everything is so far away. A wider aperture and higher ISO would allow you to use a much faster shutter speed.
