Waiting for dinner

A classic long exposure photograph. But this one is extraordinary not just because it is done with a digital camera, but also because it has packed so many factors of excellent photography in it.

The extra long (2491.5 seconds) exposure has recorded tracks of stars, movement of clouds, even a car driving across the desert scene. Night scene is transformed into day. Reading this picture, you see time frozen in this snapshot, yet you feel time flying away fast at the same moment.

This is only one example of the photographer's marvelous work.
