p.7 #2 · Your Best Nightscapes and how they were made
From this year, it would have to be this one. 5D2, 70-200/2.8LIS, ISO 400, 0.3s, f8. Only 3 other people have this picture, and nobody will ever take it again. http://fm.jirman.com/0/d/STS-400.jpg
More for this forum, it would be this one, which brought me win in the weekly photo contest here on FM. 5D2, 70-200/2.8LIS, ISO 400, f5.6, around 10 minutes exposure: http://fm.jirman.com/0/d/Pigeon.jpg
And then of course my favorite from last year, which is among my top 3 all-time night scenes. 1Ds3, 16-35L/II, ISO 400, f4, 55s: http://fm.jirman.com/0/d/Tower.jpg

Not up to the standard of many here, but its a contribution:
1: The local fort. I had to crouch down in the snow in what i suspect was someones' garden to get the angle for this. Two exposures, one for the main, one for the moon. Blended after.

Canon 5D Mark II
EF 16-35mm at 16mm
32-sec exposure
ISO 3200
f/3.2
I was setting up a timelapse dolly move. My LED headlamp spilled some lightly (luckily) while I was adjusting the legs on the two tripods holding up my moco dolly. If you look close, you can see a meteor. I don't think I really did any post processing at all on this.

Not sure of the settings I used on either of these, but it's all there in the exif. The first shot was kind of an accidentally that ended up saving the shot. I was trying to get a goo exposure of just the street when a car drove by. At first I was kinda pissed about it...but when I reviewed the shot, I realized that the passing car added a lot! The 2nd one was taken around a year later (I think). I went out to see if I could do something better at nearly the same spot, but a thick fog just happened to be outside. Again, I was a bit bummed, but decided to try a few, anyways, and thought the fogginess came out pretty nice.
