 I\'m new, so hopefully all of this is correct.

I\'ve shot this same shot a few times in the last few weeks, and when thinking of something to do for this challenge, I was thrilled to realize that I took this last photo on August 2nd. None the less, I just got my D50 and love doing night time photography and messing around with shadows and light. It is hard to get the 30 sec exposure without the basketball net moving, this is probably my best shot of the bunch.

Used photoshop to do the following:

Great title. I like the "color in black and white" feel of it. Aren't stars the best???
