Lightning over Courthouse Towers

1 hour at f4.0. Had to compromise DOF for proper exposure. Tritone

added in Photoshop. Cool highlights, warm mid-shadow tones.

Thanks!

Thanks for the great comments on this image. F4 is wide open on the 45mm lens for the Pentax 67. I was shooting a color roll through an identical camera at f8, but they are all horribly underexposed after 15 min and 30 min exposures. Luckily, I set the B&W camera at F4, so the foreground is slightly out of focus, but this allowed the ambient light from the lightning to "paint" the foreground, etc. I almost stopped this exposure at 30 minutes, but I figured, "what the heck...let it ride for another 30."
