Comet Hale-Bopp


Date:  Sunday, April 13th, 1997
Time:  9:30PM PDT
Location:  Fallbrook, Northwest San Diego County, CA, U.S.A.

50mm lens at f2.8, 1000 Kodak Gold, 20 sec exposure, unguided.

As I framed this shot around the Eucalyptus trees, a mercury vapor light was shining from a building across the street and gave the trees an eerie green glow.
