Moonrise, Pin Oak Road Photograph by Tom Atwood |
Some of the light in this stormy photograph is real, some artificial. This is a moonrise as a thunderstorm is approaching Pin Oak Road near Edwardsville, Illinois. During the 30-second exposure, lightning in the thunderhead lights up the cloud from within, but some of the glow near the horizon is from the scattered light around Edwardsville. And in addition to the full moon and stars, the most prominent light is the farmer's yardlight, which glows green in its fluorescence, almost as bright as the moon.
The cloud is lit from above, below and within.
Shutter: 30 seconds; Aperture: f/4.5; ISO: 200; Focal length: 18 mm
