Recently, I had an old friend, whom I studied with at the
Brooks Institute, come and stay with us in Big Sur. Arnaldo and I became
inspired to revert back to our days of late night photo shoots and set out to
photograph the night sky.
For those of you who have yet to try this, shooting with a
high ISO of 1600, slow shutter speed like 30 sec. and the fastest aperture your
glass can deliver. With a little post processing, the results are stunning.
For these two images, we used a
flashlight to illuminate the apple tree from 90ยบ camera left. This added an
interesting twist to the foreground elements.
