Shooting with a Canon 5D Mk II, Canon EF24-70mm f/2.8 USM lens at 24mm, ISO: 100, Aperture: f/8, Shutter: 450 seconds (with intervalometer).
Running short on time, I dressed in stalker black and set out to my local park to see what I could find. I found this gnarly tree near an empty pool, lit by safety lights and passing cars. I had a couple other shots I wanted to take, but long exposures really add up, just a couple and a half hour is gone. Before I knew, it was bedtime for Bonzo. I couldn't see to focus, but luckily a) my lens tells me what distance I'm focusing at and b) I knew that the tree was approximately the hyperfocal distance for that focal length and aperture (thanks to last week's photo challenge—must admit I didn't understand that concept until afterwards). Thanks again for the challenge, I've only done two now and I've learned a ton. -Adam Thurtell
