Late one night down the street I live on. The lens I used for this picture was broken and only had one aperture - wide open. That's why it's not as sharp as I would have liked it to be. Plus, the focal point was off. The lens was basically in two pieces and I taped it together to be able to use it. That's probably what threw off the focus.
