Post-challenge notes: I left the shutter open and, taking a page from Ryan's notebook, ran around lighting up the walkway, windows etc on the side of the house. Made sure my body was between the light and the camera, so yes, I am in fact invisible here! Fun! :-)

Well done exposing a night shot - shadows are not too dark, and the stars are perfect
