81 - 03.22.10 - NIGHTTIME

Nighttime
f/16 @ 2.5 800ISO 50mm
Tying this week to get better night shots without a flash.  Wide open, slow shutter speed and low ISO is what I have read for getting a good night shot.  Oh, a tripod and a remote is a must have.
While checking the new calves last night, I noticed the lights as they laminated the hay stacks.  I could have lightened up the photo but I am partial to how the stacks are the only things really visible.
Note to self -
Get a shot of the full moon.
Get a shot of the milky way.
Get a shot of motion.
This is going to be a challenge as I have to throw in a umbrella and packages in the mix somewhere.
BTW - no filters, actions or PP'ing.  Just shot, sized, sharpened and shared.

Oh I'm going to watch this challenge for you closely. I too want to try some night photography at some point this summer. I love this photo of the hay!

Good choice to leave just the haystacks illuminated. I like the star effect on the lights.
