City Lights

by The Art of Victor Ellison

"City Lights" by Victor Ellison Fine Art Photography

Date Taken: 02/21/2014
Location: Around MP 304
Shot near Linville, NC looking towards Charlotte, NC. The wisp of light at the bottom left is a car traveling along HWY 221.

Camera: Canon 6D
Lens: Rokinon 14mm f/2.8
Focal Length: 14mm
ISO: 1600
Shutter: 25 Seconds
Aperture: 2.8
Filters: None
Exposure: Manual
How I Got This Shot: I use the live view on my camera with to find stars, magnified, then manually focused. I then composed my shot. I noticed a car pass on the road below. I thought this would be an interesting addition to the photo, so I waited until another car passed to include in my shot. The long exposure captured the path of the headlights.
