Ouray Colorado under a mostly clear night sky. Took about a half an
hour to figure out how to make this shot happen. I have seen a lot of
photos from this overlook, but none that really captures that special
feeling of winter in a mountain town. I know there are a lot of
hotels here, but it still seems like someone has left a light on for
me while I was away. How many light sources can you count?
{at the risk of pulling the curtain back too far: Started off with
some pretty heavy filtration, which gave mixed results. The super wide
lens I ended up using doesn't accept filters, so I started to bracket
time and WB. What you see here is the result of many individual
exposures selectively blended together. Got lucky with the cloudless
sky. Most of that day was a high overcast, which, also luckily, was
settled over Montrose whose light pollution is visible at center
frame. These results gave me a helluvan idea for the next shot, I
love it when ideas chase each other around the room!}

I practically live here. I was there just yesterday. My favourite thing about this shot is how the light of the town shines on the surrounding mountains because it's so closed in. Magical.
