Zion at night.... with a real camera.

            After many years of waiting.... I finally had the opportunity to do some nighttime stuff at Zion National Park with a DSLR.

A little over 5 years ago, I was driving through here at night with a couple inches of snow and a full moon.  It was aw-inspiring and breathtaking . . . and all I had was my first digital camera (a Nikon Coolpix 5700) and very little photography experience.  

Now even though there was no snow, the moon was 90% full and I had an amazing night.  

To get this one, I set up the camera, fired a couple of test shots, and then drove with only my park lights on (the head lights were too bright) past the camera once in each direction.  

It was a 168 second exposure with a f/7.1 aperture and the ISO speed was 400.  The camera was a Canon EOS 40D with the 15mm fisheye.
