Moonlighting in Utah

In case you wondered where I went this last weekend... And yep, that's all moonlight and not HDR lighting up the Fisher Towers foreground. If you look at the large view you can see a car parked at our campsite. There's also a single light visible in the entire wide view (!) from a ranch house and there's some form of light pollution projecting the bright light behind the mesa.

Note: This is one single exposure, not a stacked trails. I would have loved to have had an even longer exposure time but the moonlight dictated the exposure. Of course stacking would have allowed for unlimited trails and ISO 200 for longer ones, but I wanted something different for this one and really like ISO 400 on the D300.
