Not the shot I was going for when I ventured out in the early hours on a winter morning. There are some major road and bridge works happening near here that is usually well lit but not this particular morning. I had limited time on my way to work so I grabbed my long lens and this is at full zoom (200mm) which I don’t feel is the best way to capture night shots. It didn’t help that it was quite windy to get a really clear shot but my manfrotto tripod performed well in the conditions. The wind did help with the smoke effect though.
I’m not particularly happy with this shot and I had hoped to take something better but time has gotten away from me and I feel this is good enough to enter. So I’m not expecting high scoring votes for this but I would be a bit annoyed if people DNMC this image because there is no tripod in the picture. I think some people just look at challenge titles and do not read the details. I feel this is worth 5.5xxx but will only feel disappointed if it finishes in the 4’s.
