I saw the moon setting, and rushed to get to this location in order to make use of the pond. It was a frantic set up, but ended up with a relaxing pic. The stars are just beginning to show in the sky. The moon is a little smeared because it's a time exposure. 44mm with zoom, cropped a little to remove some of the foreground. This was one of the last pics before the Fuji S3 shorted out inside. It's repaired and working great again now.
ohh! this feels like heaven. beautiful capture, so great b/c of your angst at the effort. lovely when it all comes together to equal an amazing shot! woohoo!!
