At My Window
Low clouds filtered the bright, December moonlight, and faintly spread it over the water, giving a surreal quality to the scene.
It was late and I didn’t want to fuss with the tripod, so I opened the window and braced the camera against the window frame for the long exposure. Remarkably, the camera held steady.
Most digital cameras won’t tolerate a long exposure of a bright moon against a dark sky; they render a halo around the moon. In this case the clouds had already formed a halo, so the camera acquiesced.
The subtle points and strokes of light in this photo abstract a rental community sited on a hill across the pond. The image was recorded December 12, 2011 at 7:04 pm.
