Thank you both! The plant is so much more massive than would fit in my frame... I may have to go back one day with a wide-angle...! #9121123

I love this shot Chris, did you use a Star filter for the lights?

Why I ask is that I have this filter but never used it.

Thankyou! have a Wonderful Christmas!

A factory that looks like a fantasy! Incredible!! #9121238

Thanks! I remember this plant as a kid, visiting my mom; it is so huge and complex. On a visit a few years ago, I asked her to take me back there for night shots.
Pat--No star filter... just f/8 aperture, and a 2-second exposure on a tripod. #9121325
