Maker's notes:

This image was shot in the Maintenance Yard of the Durango and Silverton Railroad in Durango, Colorado.  It was shot at night.  My Canon 7D Mark II was mounted on a tripod and set  to Aperature Prioirity Av f/16.  The f/16 was necessary to turn yard lights in to starbursts.  Not necessary for the image.  ISO 1600 was used which resulted in a shutter speed of 1/2 second.  Image is intentionally dark to  set the night time mood.  Lighting was done with off camera flood lights.
