Dark of Night

Description


Waiting for First Light, and for the clouds to break during an overcast night, I captured this image of our Expedition using a long exposure. I also used a spotlight to accentuate the wheels on the vehicle as well as the BB' Q grill in the picnic area of the park near our home.

Canon 28-135 IS at 33mm. ISO 100, 13 seconds at f22.0 - Adjustments with PSCS5 and Mystical Lighting. (CA)

Exif: F Number: 22, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 13/1 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 33.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark II
