Taken with the 24mm lens and Canon 5D MkII for 25 seconds at ISO 2500 and f/2.5. Light from town streetlights provides the illumination. The Moon was not up and this was taken as a single still shot before commencing a time-lapse, when when the sky was still blue from the last of twilight. It was a very windy night!
