On the evening of October 28, 2024, I paused in the car park at the Strasburg Rail Road to make a few test photos with my Nikon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

J-Tower was lit for Halloween.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier in the evening while attempting some long time exposures, I’d accidentally set my Nikon Z7-II in a ‘mode’ and my results were something other than what I’d expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bit of systematic fiddling with the camera restored the settings to where I’d needed them to be for a nocturnal time exposure on a tripod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This image was exposed at f4.0 for 30 seconds (at ISO 100), the lens focal length was set to 52mm. I adjusted the NEF RAW file in post processing to make the most of the sky and tower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
