Nikon D90, 10.5mm, ISO320, f/2.8, 15s
For quite some time I wanted to hike out to the end of this mesa for a long exposure shot so I thank you, Gizmodo, for the extra motivation. I suspected the lights of the cars driving on the highway below would add some interesting light to an already impressive vista and I was pleasantly surprised. The low-hanging clouds of the evening added even more nice touches to the shot with the light of the highway and cities reflecting orange in the clouds. The clouds were moving fast and I didn't want too much "cloud blur" so I opened up my aperture to f/2.8 so I could shoot a much shorter exposure and still make it look like daylight.
