Colorado, Yes it was a fairly long exposure (prob around 20-30 sec......It was alot darker that night than what that pic shows. My son was getting ready to play their district soccer championship game and I looked behind me and the sky was crazy looking and this was my first attempt at anything long exposure wise.......I think that's why the field is so bright due to the lights from the stadium!
Woodland, just a slight oversight on my part, was going through some of my images and found this "undoctored" image.......my apologies, you were correct! It seems pretty bleached out compared to the photoshop version, don't ya think?
