I believe that shot was with a 28-105mm lens. The trick was attending the WSDOT viaduct inspection tour, which provided that unique vantage point. Oh, just a Canon Digital Rebel XT.

I've never figured out who the photographer of the night shot is. The UW photographic database is a great way spend some time.
