Challenge: Long Exposure II (Advanced Editing IV) Camera: Nikon D200 Lens: Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED Location: concord, ca Date: Oct 30, 2006 Aperture: 3.5 ISO: 400 Shutter: 30 s Galleries: Astrophotography Date Uploaded: Oct 30, 2006 Add photograph to your favorites Add photographer to your favorites	Second Entry with my D200, and I used my new SB600. Set a 30 sec exposure and fired it with the test button during the exposure, I am sure there is a better way to do it. Converted from raw, Hue/saturation and selective color, masked out the effect on the tree. burned the grass in the front since I had the flash set to 14 mm and flash was too broad. Flattened, NI USM, Resize for the web.

this is good. You said you "test" fired it. I am not an absolute expert, but I believe the rear curtain fire would have worked as well. I think....
