October 2003.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I was traveling with Tim Doherty in Pennsylvania. A full moon illuminated the landscape. We opted to make time exposures of\u00a0 the Herculean former Lackawanna Tunkhannock Creek Viaduct at Nicholson, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

We opted for several vantage points. This view was exposed from a graveyard located on a hill above Nicholson to the west.<\/p>\n

\"Lackawanna<\/a>
Nicholson, Pennsylvania by the light of moon. What sort of lunatic stands around in a grave yard on moon-lit October night without film in the camera?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Using my Nikon F3T firmly planted on a Bogan tripod, I exposed this image for more than a minute. The filtered moonlight allowed for a ethereal image of the viaduct.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not completely satisfied with the photo. It doesn\u2019t really convey the immense size of the bridge and the foreground is underexposed.<\/p>\n

However, what really annoys me is that most of the photos I tried to make that evening never existed. In the darkness, I grabbed the wrong Nikon body. As it turned out, I failed to load that camera. So there was a lot of standing around making time exposures without a recording media in the camera! Poor show.<\/p>\n
