The 76 seconds came after a lot of practice -- both practice on timing, and on getting the light right. Initially I was hurrying, but by the time I got to this particular shot, I had practiced it well enough that it wasn't rushed at all. 76 seconds is surprisingly long when you have a purpose.

Don -- I've never heard of this before, nor have I seen it happen. I just googled and found an Amazon review mentioning a dark spot if you use the built-in flash -- which makes sense, most large wide-angles do that. But of course, I didn't use a flash here.

I love my 18-200 and use it basically everywhere -- I value the portability and durability, because I'm out in the wild so much.

Thanks! I may re-do the photo if I ever find another good location that I can get to at night.
