Late Night at the Marina

Description

This photo was taken at approximately 2 AM from the docks of a marina on the Mississippi River. The bridge in the background is the Clark Bridge named after Lewis Clark who started his expedition just about ten miles from this location. The bridge connects Alton Illinois to the Missouri banks and the Northern metropolis of St. Louis. I used a tripod and external trigger. I bracketed this exposure with numerous different bulb exposure times and choose this one in post processing. You can make out a slight trail to the stars. Conversion in Nik.
f/7.1; ISO 400


Exif: F Number: 7.1, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 29/1 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 25.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D
