Railroad photograph
Photo by: Kevin Morgan
Perhaps my best night shot to date, this was a half hour (yep, nearly 30 minutes) exposure taken at the east switch of Mounds. It was taken between 5:30am and 6:00am, although the light behind the signal is not the sun. That is ambient light from the town of Wellington, about ten miles away. Note all the stars swirling around the North Star in the upper right corner of the photo.

This is a nice shot! I've been trying to get shots like this since I'm a night and low-light photographer. What are the settings for these types of shots?
