Sodium vapour shadows

Balcony plants in sodium vapour lightMy balcony in the light of a sodium vapour lamp from across the road. This shot was a bit of a challenge: the light was too dim for the camera’s auto-focus sensor. What I did was use a tube light to temporarily light up the balcony, hold the camera button halfway down so it could focus, switch off tube, and click, with a three second exposure to reproduce the street lamp’s lighting.

The 100% virgin tank is just to the right of this frame.
