Great image Sherrybear! How long was the exposure on this image? #1198878Sherry McClead October 31, 2009
Thanks for the comment David... this is a combination of two images... a very long one to get the grass and the stars (30 sec)... and one to capture the lit cross (0.6sec)... then just blend in the parts you want over the ones you don't... photoshop is fun isn't it... #8091377Maria Coulson December 10, 2009
Wonderful capture! And you had a great idea to get the most out of the two exposures. #8207168Sherry McClead December 10, 2009
Thanks Maria... would have been really great if I could figure out how to get it in one shot..#8207191

Cool! Night Shot! #8279659Sherry McClead January 08, 2010
Thanks Wm... I will always remember working on this shot cause I had to do it hopping on one leg... I had just had knee surgery... thankfully I had a tripod and the help of a great friend. #8280433Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
