Saint Elmo's Fire

Last week the fog layered incredibly thick on my street. I walked outside after awaking from my slumber to the sight of a eerily and spooky environment caused by the diffusion of light by the fog.

I seized the opportunity and grabbed my camera. In my pajamas, I begin taking long exposures of about 20 seconds or more with a very aperture to create not only a long depth of field, but using the long exposure time to create vivid colors that are invisible to the naked eye.

With this photo, I had to take in account timing, because cars go up and down on my street. You can even see the headlights of an on coming car in this picture. Fortunately, the camera was done compiling the exposure just before the car was moments away.
