A couple weeks ago, we had a night of really dense fog in Toronto. I was persuaded to attempt a STF at 10:30pm, so I headed out into the field. After seeing the fog, I couldn't resist setting up my camera and tripod (part of the standard gear in the field nowadays) to snap a few photos (ended up being a lot).
A short while later, I noticed a challenge on the Nikon Cafe forums titled "Slow Shutter Speed". Since all my pictures were taken in the dark, I had to use slow shutter speeds to get the proper exposure anyway. For the heck of it, I decided to submit my favourite photo - entitled Illuminati.
There weren't too many submissions to the challenge, but a few of them were really great photos. As the votes starting rolling in, lo and behold, my photo was getting votes. I would have been happy with just one vote. The results were released today, and Illuminati came in third!!! :):):)
And it is a testament to your dedication that you were out there with your camera and tripod on a foggy night :D upbzift
