Thanks all for feedback (Jack, Paul, ann, Rob, Jessoms). Going to try again. Think I'll fill the frame more, though the more I fill it, since I am shooting from quite a distance, the less I will get. Anyway, will give it another shot. (I also found another refinery, but not sure about it -- have to scope it out -- refineries have a lot of private security types and are worried about terrorists).

I used a tripod, remote, 2 second timer setting, shot in manual, ISO 100, f/11, and 1/4 a second (lower than that I wasn't getting enough light). And I found my best results were right before it got really dark. But they came out not very sharp (although I used a good lens). As I drove away I realized I forgot to turn off the lens IS (I used a Canon). So I guess I have to try again with it off and see if I do better. http://mapphotography.com/PAWS/pages/pie.html Any suggestions about what different f stops, etc. to use for a better result, please feel free to let me know.
