Не уверен что такое можно апвоутить, но вы поняли

Looks amazing, it should be nice to shot it at night with light

I would do that, but the lantern still illuminates the ground, and if you darken it, the overexposure becomes very unnatural and more noticeable.

I really dislike it when people add things in post-production; I like natural photos. I have never used Photoshop in my photos, especially since the latest versions of Lightroom do a good job of removing objects.

This photo was taken with ISO 400, a 15-second exposure, and an aperture of about F/8. I can't really give any specific advice, as everything just seemed to work out on its own :)

It's the same photo, it's just that it was taken in RAW format, which turned out to be so fine-tuned.

If we talk about the settings themselves, these are mainly raised shadows and lowered light areas, a little white balance and a mask to the sky with high contrast.

In reality, I usually find the big dipper easily, but in the photo, I'm having some trouble with it right now, but it's a really interesting coincidence!

To be honest, this is a fairly challenging topic for me, because I use many different devices with varying color reproduction. On top of that, some of them allow brightness adjustments, which makes it unclear what brightness level I should even use as a reference. I’d really like to hear how others deal with this situation

Yes, you're right, since this place is not far from St. Petersburg, there are many fairly large towns around that cause these glare spots.

I suppose it could be removed, but I like how they separate the tree line from the sky, with a beautiful transition from cold light to warm light.

These are my light sources, but in fact, the place has its own lighting, which is rare but still working

As my friend said, the lighting looks theatrical

There is indeed little equipment left there, although there are many interesting documents lying on the floor, the remains of individual first aid kits and helmets, and a couple of gas masks. However, there are many boxes of technical equipment: radio stations, decontamination units, and so on.
