Aftermath

The lighting was often difficult in the boneyard that night. There was a lot of ambient sodium vapor lighting.

Ordinarily, I try to minimize or eliminate the orange cast of the sodium vapor lights in my night shots, but in this one, I went the other way. I added lots of white LED light to the foreground, and ratcheted up the orange sodium vapor glow on the clouds, trying to evoke a sense of unseen calamity happening just out of the frame.
