Taken when the moon was high and lighting up the back deck. She had just picked the eggplant to save them from the frost.

The only light used was the moon. I was surprised, since it was so bright being full, that it took a 13 second exposure to get workable shots. I know, there is motion blur in her hair. A breeze was blowing and it just couldn't be helped. Shot at 1:30m a.m. - exif says 2:30 because I never changed it at daylight savings time. It was cold - about 35F. I was real happy to actually be working with a model. Only did this once before, just the other day, same model, for an entirely different shot for the same challenge. It just didn't work out though - elements in the shot were not removable and no way to eliminate them naturally. So however this did, I am happy. Learned a lot about the camera, processing, and got to work with a beautiful model.
