Hot Pic of the Week: "Space Needle," by Derek Rak, Thornton, Colorado

Derek says that he took this photo using a Nikon D80 with a Hoya R72 infrared filter. The infrared filter required a very long exposure even though it was mid-day--30 seconds, in fact--which resulted in the somewhat blurry trees.

Runner-Up: "Barbed Wire," by Dan Mitchke, Aurora, Colorado
