Re: pic: Another strange thing about Atlanta

OK, now to solve the mystery.
Yes, it's a time lapsed photo.
Camera is a Nikon D80 with a 70-300 mm lens. Camera was set at 200 ISO.
The picture was taken from the 15th floor of the Downtown Hilton (where I was staying)
The counter below the light would count down to zero. When it hit zero the light would go through it's cycle green-yellow-red. I would hit the remote at 1 second and the camera would do the rest. About a 3 second shutter speed. The car at the light was going straight. That is why it isn't blurred.
It took about 10 tries to get it right.
