Congrats on the new lens!

Here's what's got me scratching my noggin: at 20 sec shutter speed how is it that the flag on the building is not just a blurry splotch in the night sky?

It's funny that you noticed that too. I was drawn to it as well...

Just one of those crazy things! Here is a 250% crop of the flag. You can see the effect of the breeze at this magnification.
