Tennessee Valley at Night

Coming off the cliffs by Tennesse Beach in full night, I found the homeward trail still and serene.

So still that I could make this 5 1/2 minute exposure and still capture detail in the grass as lit by starlight and the crescent moon.

For this image, I used my Nikon D200 with my 10.5mm digital fisheye at ISO 100, 330 seconds and f/3.5 (wide open).
