Sorry ... can't help myself when she's around. This was a grab-the-camera-quick-and-shoot photo. There was only time to use the on camera flash. I still like it though. BTW, did I mention that I have this little girl wrapped around my little finger? Yep ... I do.
I waited for a cold, still, clear night to take this shot. It is about a mile from a Sunoco oil refinery. The steam and smoke came out looking almost like fire but in reality, they are bright, white billowy plumes. The exposure though is 15 seconds ... f9; iso 200. So of course the plumes turned into streaks and the white turned into reflection of all the lights below. I still thought it was interesting though. I didn't notice a lot of photographers out at 11:30PM @ 17 degrees (-8C for you Canadian friends ).
