Country Nightlife
Lens: 18-135 Camera: K5 Photo Location: Almonte, ON ISO: 800 Shutter Speed: Above 6s Aperture: F4

I got lucky with this photo. Living about 10 km outside of town, there is very little light pollution. On this extremely cold night after a long day of work, I decided to stay up late and try my first attempt of taking pictures of the stars. Luckily after about 45 minutes on shooting I took the raw images to the computer and worked my magic. Feedback?

I really like it. I don't know what that glow is on the left, behind the trees, but my eye is drawn that direction.

I like this shot very much - the lights in the house competing with the whole galaxy . Very cool.

The house adds so much to the image. Glad you included it. Nicely done.
