The "above image" link takes you to the photographer's page with the details. He says "I used my little headlamp to paint the lily pads with a beam of light." Moonrise for the date wasn't until after 3 AM (he doesn't give an exact time of the exposure). They were not far from Anchorage, AK, so skyglow could have provided some ambient light, as well. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
