There are so many layers of post production on these photos I'd barely call them photographs any more. Especially the flares around the lights: no distortion even on the edges, all of them look uniform, even if they come from different light sources... EDIT That said, kudos for the patience, it takes a long while to acquire the source material. EDIT2 As art, it's good work. But this is not what I'd label photography.…

This happens with some lenses at long exposures. There's not much done to these outside of the odd comp, but mainly a 'HDR' style grading. Good stuff, and relatively simple. Just looks intense!
No, it does not happen like this. Happens with _some_ light source, from _some_ angles. Barely ever on the edge of the lens and never without distortion there.
Don't get why everyone's so down on these photos. I enjoyed them. I've spent time over there and they made me nostalgic for travelling there.
As someone who knows nothing about photography, I thought the pics looked pretty cool.

OK mate. I've got and done photographs supporting what I just said. But I'll concede, whatever.

This perspective of viewing when you know nothing about a subject and having an opinion only based on the work itself, and not instantly comparing it to something similar you saw the other day or claiming it's not even that hard or that pics have been heavily edited ( I believed that they weren't since the title said photography ). Do people lose this perspective of looking at something with fresh eyes when they know…
Of course this also applies to the things that once inspired you at the start of your journey - now you can see if they stand the test of time (and developed taste) and still impress after having dug much deeper into the subject, genre or category. After all Miles Davis' "Kind Of Blue", which was probably a starting point for many listeners trying to get into jazz, certainly still is an alltime classic and favorite of experts and enthusiasts.

May I see some of those photos? I'm genuinely curious what lens is capable of night flares on the edge without distortion; the only one I can think of is the Nikkor 50mm 1.2, considering it was designed for this. The Pentax 85mm 1.8, which is my closest to that lens certainly can't do this feat but in the center - it does spectacular nightscapes though.

Yes you may. They're raw renders from an online archive from photographs 10 years ago, so lets leave the artistic judgements aside. https://imgur.com/a/fAhJOVc
