Water Tower
Collinsville, Illinois
Photograph by Tom Atwood |
Orion almost gets lost in this picture. The constellation, one of the brightest remaining in a sky increasingly washed out by artificial light, is just to the right of the Brooks Catsup "bottle." The water tower on Highway 159 in Collinsville, is lit with a floodlight, while clouds reflect the light shining up from below. Except for the few stars visible, this photo almost looks like it was taken during the day. But it wasn't. This is what Collinsville (and much of the country) looks like at 4:30 a.m. Shutter: 10 seconds; Aperture: f/4.5; ISO: 400; Focal length: 18 mm
