After an hour of trying to get a decent sunset I headed home and looked out the window and noticed a storm coming. I headed back down and got this shot.
It was shot at BULB with the shutter held open for 2 minutes at f4.5 and ISO100

They are part of a series – “truly scene” – which I’ve worked on recently (mostly in the middle of the night ….).

My renderings are in this instance are built from scanograms
