Pueblo Bonito Street... A spring storm in Santa Fe.

PUEBLO BONITO STREET - HOW IT WAS MADE

This was taken in front of my house when I lived on Pueblo Bonito Street in Santa Fe. From previous tests on my street at night, I had settled on an exposure 1 minute at f/8 with 100 ASA film. For this shot I wanted a longer exposure because the lightning was not striking very frequently, so I stopped down to f/16 which increased my exposure time to 4 minutes.
