Hi,
I have 2 questions here. I took a walk late last night to get a few shots of the spring tides in Essex because the sea comes up onto the road in front of a beautiful building which results in some dramatic reflections. However, my skills didn't live up to the task of making the most of this so I ended up with some images that could have been amazing, but just aren't. Any advice or tips will be gratefully received.
In the first image I kept the ISO at 100 by using a longer shutter speed (25 seconds f/11) but despite adjusting the luminance control in Lightroom up to 67 the sky is still very noisy. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

I also seem to have an issue with flare. In this photo there's quite a bit of flare around the lights. Is the exposure too long, and if so, whats's the best way to get detail in the dark areas whilst limiting the flare.

Finally on this shot I once again have a flare issue. It's in the form of a large semicircle and I've no idea where it came from and my PS skills are far too limited to even attempt to remove it
