I didn't use any filters at all... On the 2nd shot I just set the white balancing settings to tungsten since there was alot of yellow lights around.

lol I was just asking because of the way the lights have some spiking (so to speak) coming from them. A star filter gives you this effect but it's usually more exagerated than in your pics. Although they can be made less exagerated using a smaller aperature, that's what I thought you may have done....lol I'll shut up now.Originally posted by DevilOnWheelz

U said it the other way around... A bigger apreture (smaller opening) will make the lights more like a star... Look out the window and try to find a light source, close your eyes, and leave a very little opening for you to just see the light source, and you will see the lights as a star too...Originally posted by Moonracer

And btw a bigger aperature would mean a smaller number not a smaller opening.
The funny thing is, you origionally didn't know what a star filter was.

i feel like i've seen these exact pictures before. strange.

What the numbers in the aperature means how big the shutter opens... Bigger apreture number, smaller opening, smaller apreture number bigger the opening... And sorry I do not use filters and forgive my ignorance for not knowing the filter you are talking about....Originally posted by Moonracer

Aperature is not how "big the shutter opens", the shutter is a completely different divice. The aperature is in the lens and the smaller the number the larger the aperature becomes. For example: an opening of f22 is far smaller than f2.8.
Anyway, no disrespect intended just photo talk.

The plates in the iris diaphragm fold in on each other to shrink the aperture and expand out to make it wider.
"In the last section, we saw that you need to carefully control the film's exposure to light, or your picture will come out too dark or too bright. So how do you adjust this exposure level? You have to consider two major factors:
-How much light is passing through the lens
-How long the film is exposed
To increase or decrease the amount of light passing through the lens, you have to change the size of the aperture -- the lens opening. This is the job of the iris diaphragm, a series of overlapping metal plates that can fold in on each other or expand out. Essentially, this mechanism works the same way as the iris in your eye -- it opens or closes in a circle, to shrink or expand the diameter of the lens. When the lens is smaller, it captures less light, and when it is larger, it captures more light.

And yes, I didn't say the right thing about saying its how big the shutter opens, I was trying to explain the diaphram but I donno why I said the shutter...
