Aperture: 8.0

Shutter: 30 sec

 This was taken at approx 8:45 pm on the bridge over the lake at the local nature center. It was clear but very dark as the moon hadn't yet risen above the trees. After numerous experimental shots I decided to place a small flashlight on the railing about 20 feet away to light myself up.

PP: Levels, color saturation, USM and sharpen to bring up the stars and dodge tool to enhance them. Neat Image.

Jo, when are you going to at least learn the names of the stars you are looking at? And I don't care how much you want to believe it, that's not a meteor! Now, it's really nighttime and far too past your bedtime. You should have been asleep a long time ago! (A better job this time around at a real-time night sky and not so jelly-like.)

I think the lighting is bad on the woman.
