Yeah im quite confused by this result.  Never has happened to me before. Can someone please give me an explanation to as why there are white blurs in the upper and lower corners? And to why there is a mysterious green tint, and why there are blue red and green dots everywhere if you zoom in? Thanks haha.

Green is from the ambient lights, it would be better to take a picture like that in total darkness rather then having lights in the area. I would believe that the purple is flaring, at least that is the only thing I could really thing of. How long was it for? What f/ stop and ISO?

Hmm, what camera do you have? I know a few cameras have trouble with the sensor overheating. That may be whats creating the purple haze.

The weird reflections are definatly from the urban lights. And if you had a filter on your lens it usually always does somthing weird at night, so take the filter off wenever you are shooting at night and you wont have this problem. And if it wasnt the fiter then I have no idea wat else it is.
