A solar powered light across the street from our house. The sky was perfect for a picture this night (around 2:00am in the morning) so I had to find something really simple to photograph.

Bob: Its very nice to see you back! I really love this photo - the composition is striking. How did you have enough light at that time of night to capture that much detail?

Thank you Julie :). Qualcom Stadium is about 1 mile away from where we live and the lights were still on from an event they had that night. The lights really lit up the clouds from below giving the sky such an amazing look to it which helped in capturing the detail, plus I shot on a tripod and used right around a 20 second exsposure at ISO 200. I was really pleased with the results. I shot in RAW and cooled down the overall look of the image before doing anything else.
