Provo at Night


Provo at Night, originally uploaded by LeggNet.

This nightime capture from the Western shore of Utah Lake was made looking East across the lake toward the city of Provo. An exposure time of 300 seconds (5 minutes) was used, as is apparent by the star streak in the sky in the upper right portion of the frame. The rocks and grass in the foreground were included in the composition to add depth perspective.

It was a very chilly 5 minutes on a late night waiting for this photograph to be captured.

Great shot!
Was any flash used for the foreground?

Thanks for the kind words. The foreground was lit by a nearby traffic light.

One of the most wonderful night shot I've ever seen. Did u use digital or film camera? I heard someone said that exposure more than 30 seconds will damage CCD. Is this true?
Thanks.
