This is a 70 second exposure, when I arrived at Ngawi it was pitch black and blowing like hell, i thought that it was a right off, weather forecast was bad, but, buy the time that I had got ready the moon shone through the racing clouds and lit everything up, this was 6.02am.

Shot on a Nikon D700 with 17-35mm Nikkor Lens, Cokin ND4 grad, tripod and sand bags. Active D-Lighting on Norm, ISO 200
