Glimmer

night

evening

"In what house, the jade flute that sends these dark notes drifting,

scattering on the spring wind that fills Lo-yang?

Tonight if we should hear the willow-breaking song,

who could help but long for the gardens of home?"
~Li Bai

spring evening + stars (long exposure)

last night i learned how to take long exposure star pictures. i went into the backyard, set the camera on a stool, and set it for 30" shutter speed (shutter is open for 30 seconds letting all the light possible) and F3.5.

it wasn't this bright out, but since the camera let in so much light, it made the trees an interesting color and the stars really bright.

i really like how the long exposure makes the stars bright, as well as the grass/trees.
