Looks like you caught a few stars in that nice night shot of the harbor. Some of the others look a bit overexposed. Have you looked at the histogram to see if the tones are pushed to the right? E.g., http://www.pbase.com/tinamanley/image/69745616 http://www.pbase.com/tinamanley/image/69707588 http://www.pbase.com/tinamanley/image/69757255 The M8 I had in Rockport did this and I found dialing in -1/3 stop compensation gave me a tonal spread that I found preferable to the -0.0 setting.
