There's a cluster of five high antennas on the west side of Tucson that is visible from many parts of the valley and mountains that surround the city. Here you can see the red lights at the base and at the top of each antenna. Since these lights flash intermittently, a photo like this is difficult to take.
I purchased a Sony Cybershot compact digital camera almost a year ago and am still learning about the settings. In order to get this photo with all five red lights I used the hand-held twilight setting that takes six images (very fast) and combines them into one. Designed for low light, non-tripod use, the twilight setting records stars and sunset glow and even the red lights from the antenna farm that can be seen in this photo.
