NIght Sky

 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 90º camera left. This added an interesting twist to the foreground elements.
