This one is probably unique in that while it fits the definitions of
the competition by being taken in the middle of the night, we
currently have 24hr sunlight down here in Antarctica.
The photo was taken a little after midnight at the Pegasus Airfield
near McMurdo Station.
It is actually a single frame from a time-lapse sequence where I was
taking a photo once a minute for a few days showing the 24 hour
sunlight move around the sky. Alas the weather was not behaving, and
we have only had the sun out for a few hours in the last 4 days, so
the time-lapse clip was a bit of a bust.
It is the peak of summer here now, and air temps are typically only
slightly below freezing.
Camera Canon 5D
Lens 24-105L
1/250th / ISO100 / f9
I'm in the process of putting together a feature film about what it is
like to live in Antarctica for a year, a few of my older clips can be
seen online here...
