So Much More

Description

Taken at Lightning Ridge, N.S.W. on the 25.1.09.
I spent a bit over an hour trying to salvage this photo from almost pure blackness -which came from me rushing in with wrong camera settings (you only do that the once!).

Why this happened: my settings were ISO100, f/6.3, 20 second exposure. Another worry was the sensor heat causing an insane amount of noise due to the 40˚c+ temps at the time.
Looking back now I should have been at ISO400 or 800 using about a 10 second exposure (and an ice pack on the camera lol).

Anyhow I hope you enjoy it! It could've been -so much more- if I hadn't made such a small mistake. :laughing:

Taken just before the Dark Updraft photo
