Comments on: Who needs stars when you’ve got Columbian Carbon in the backdrop at night? Pictured here in Strathearne Yard, the 1600 yard job pauses temporarily during a busy night of switching in Hamilton’s far east. I believe they were sorting traffic for Ruetgers and/or Contanda before making further moves at the industries themselves.

This turned out very well, lucky to get them to turn off headlights for you. I wasn’t so lucky here.

Thanks Phil and Larry.

@Larry – there are some pretty bright lights to the left out of frame at the Dofasco facility there that sure helped light up the power. This exposure was only 17 seconds!

@Steve – haha yeah, I have a problem. I think that was one of the nights I was out with 555 and it ended up down the hole to NSC, so the night got away from me pretty quickly. I was pretty new to the night shots then and excited to try them out. This one was much more reasonable – around 8pm. The only silver lining to the shorter days.

The exposure on the 1437 is perfect and I love the towers in the background right.
