AND LASTLY,



does it look like a serious DUST infested sensor or ?

A bit underexposed.

hot pixels?

Its not underexposed. Its just that there isn't enough ambient light to bring out building details further from the light sources. You see "floating lights". You can bring out the details with more exposure but at the expense of blowing out the portions nearer to the light sources. I suggest you shoot at an earlier timing. At this time of the year, you should getting decent ambient lighting around 7:15 to 7:45. Don't wait till the sky is comepletely dark. Good lighting is essential for streetscapes. You'll find that your pictures will improve drastically if you know the right time to click.

Thanks alot for the comments. So is my sensor dust infected? or isit "normal"

[Kit]

Have you spotted dust specks on a photo before? If you have, then you'd know that finding dust in a night photo is equally challenging as finding needle in a haystack.

[drOick]

So does it mean theres dust on my sensor?

[Jet Lim]

May I ask what is the exposure time or shutter speed for picture 1?

[drOick]

2 s shutterspeed

GO into menu enable Noise Reduction.

Definitely underexposed. Not enough. Try f8 at 15 seconds with bracket +/- 0.3 exposures..then try f5.6 for 10 seconds again with bracket +/- 0.3 exposures and pick the best of outcomes...

Yup, I agree that timing is important for landscape and building. Here is 2 example of photo taken around 7 plus in evening.
