"I love that this shot incorporates a dramatic long-exposure/time lapse technique to deliver a dynamic sense of motion above the old building. The clouds look like they are virtually exploding from behind the building, and the hint of stars lets us know that this is a night time capture." - Dr. Jason P. Odell
