Thought I just posted this, but it disappeared, so here we go again...

Sumter SC is a po-dunk little town with a very limited budget, and I have little interest in photographing lights, but I was dragged out of the house, so why not snap a few?

I believe that's a 30sec exposure, f/22. probably 160ISO. watched the cars making that turn, headlights were lighting the wall, so i went with it. focused, framed it, and click.

Used mirror lockup the whole time, but just my fat finger pushing the shutter release.

^^ lol @ ogelbay. those are some really nice shots man. I like the last two. Does that lens normally add the curvatures to the pictures like that, or did you add that somehow? or is that just a perspective thing?

All of these shots were taken with a 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye, so there's lots of distortion, but it hides well in the dark. The curvature is normal, but blurring like in the top of the tree on the last pic is just the wind blowing the lights around. :thumbsup:
