Artist's Comments

The reason the tree is "glowing" is that there are lighted Christmas decorations nearby. No flash; 30 sec. exp. time. I don't currently have a working tripod so my camera was lying on the ground for this shot.

Wow, this is really nice. Interesting lighting can make photos turn out really neat.

Yah, stars are pretty hard to capture. I can't ever even get a good picture of the moon, let alone any stars! My camera is crappy though, lol.

It was the unusual lighting on the trees that attracted me to this one. Looks better than a plain old sihlouette.

Butting in. :)

The moon turns out best at between 1/125 and 1/500. Depending on aperture. Problem is everthing else turns out dark.

Your welcome :) I get to reading the comments, and then just do this once in a while.

I got this capture recently on a clear night here. [link] The stars are pretty much how they came out of the camera, I did a lot of work on the backgound to clean out the noise though. I think a narrower aperture might help get the stars a little more to a pin point on the next try.

I found out about the moon thing by shooting a photo of it in the late afternoon one time. Used a fast shutter speed cause of the daylight. Turned out clear as a bell.

HI. Would you mind if I used this in a grab bag feature that I am doing on my front page?
