Testing my new lens

Captured at Lake Louisa State Park around 8:30 PM, this shot was taken with a 14mm lens at f/2.8 for a 4-second exposure. It was pitch black at the time, and I was amazed at how much light the lens was able to gather.

Wow, that turned out great!

Fabulous capture and I'm glad you explained the process...I'd have never guessed!!
