Soda Butte at Yellowstone at midnight. It was pitch black out, so I waited for a car to drive by and let their headlights fan across the mound. Editing included Sharpen, USM, and Hue/ Saturation. I'm still learning with my new camera and I had the ISO set to auto and I've learned that it should have been set to 100 or so to reduce the grain.

For long image exposures set the long exposure noise reduction. It takes a second exposure of the back of the shutter and subtracts the artifacts from the original exposure. as for noise, bah look at a iso 1600 piece of film :-P
Nice scene. I wish the foreground and background lighting levels were a little more balanced, as I find the background more interesting. Especially that mountain on the far left. That square thing lying in the foreground center seems out of place.
I like the detail in the foreground of this image. There seems to be alot of noise in the sky (which i can only assume is a function of the long exposure time). Nice composition otherwise.
Pretty cool shot, too bad they don´t make flashlights powerful enough to light up that dark mountain in the backround, now THAT would have been a ribbon shot :)
The central mass seems a bit dark to me (will look at it on another monitor later), and there's some book or something in the foreground which is bothersome. The sky is nice.
A different monitor - yes, there is a little more detail, but not much. ;-)
