  • I had to talk to about 15 people to get this photo to happen. Artery, Manbase Krew, Man Neon Team, and the Rangers all had to sign-off and provide assistance.<br /> <br /> Even then, with the Man turned "dark" I had to deal with spotlights from other work sites. This, sadly, preventing shooting towards the north, which would have made a gorgeous circle of stars, if you could have seen any through the flood of light pouring into the camera.<br /> <br /> Still, I'm not going to complain about the final result. <br /> <br /> 32:30 exposure (compiling 6 second shots, to keep the Man from over-exposing). <br /> Shot on Thursday before the event opened.
