~2.5 hr exposure, Ogema, Saskatchewan.

As for technique:

I set up in the back of my truck, using a 20mm lens for a good perspective of the barn. Used Sensia 400, and f/4.

It was an extremely calm fall night and pitch black...or so it seemed. The sunset look is probably from Regina, ~1hr away.

    takes some dedication, and a steady tripod to get a two and a half hour exposure

    What a great shot! I have many pictures in my collection from Ogema too, we go every year to fair days. The museum is full of photo ops. :D
