    That’s really nice Alan, the light on the foreground and the trees in the background make the shot. Care to share your settings / technique.

    Thanks Dave. Really appreciate it. To be honest I wasn’t expecting it I look like this. It was pitch dark and I couldn’t see a thing.
    I had gone out to capture a moonrise but ended up with this.
    This location has a jetty off to the left and had two or three lights in it. As the water was so high I could get near it but it lite the left hand side of the trees. I had the camera set at ISO 3200,f4 at 20″ and really was hoping for stars.
    That’s when this shot happened. I liked how it was lite. I couldn’t
    go back any further as I didn’t want any more trees in the frame and the light on the left would have caused flare. So I took 4 shots with camera held in portrait orientation so as to capture as much of trees height as possible and then just stitched them.
    I wasn’t expecting the light on the left to add so much but was pleasantly surprised.

    Great shot! Light is just right and you have managed to capture one sparkly dot near the top right corner :)

    very different looking image, not something you see everyday – I really like it.

    its a shot that really keeps the viewer looking, i love the magical feeling
    beyond the trees in the foreground, which are great too.

    very well done

    Hi Alan,

    I really love this image and would be very happy if it were mine.
    As has been said it’s different and has a magical look to it. Yet it dosen’t look at all unnatural to me.
    The light on the trees is lovely.
    It definitely holds the eye.

    Very well done.

    John.
