Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4.0L IS
Location: Camas, WA
Date: Jan 25, 2007
Aperture: f/4
ISO: 640
Shutter: 10
Galleries: Nature
Date Uploaded: Jan 25, 2007

 Set WB to 10000 degrees. WB shift +9 also (that goes toward red). Custom features: Sharpen +4, Contrast +2, Saturation +3, Color Tone +0.

The hardest part of the shot was timing it between car headlights. I also got my shoes really muddy in the field. The noise is an issue.

I gave you a 10! I wonder if the voters looked closely at the stars? Or just didn't like the picture. Anyways, great picture and great finish!

Curious, why not drag the shutter so that you could use the long exposure noise reduction feature in the camera?

Would be stronger if the tree was not so centered.

I really like this the first time I saw it, but didn't notice the stars in the top of the frame. Kudos on the exposure! Bumped it to a nine. The only thing that kept it from the ten was that I don't like the house lights and the little bit of light are on the bottom right edge.

had cropped of the lower 10 %. As is, it is not minimalistic enough IMO
