Reach Out

Set manual, 8 second hand-held exposure with flash.

Playing around with light.

Flash froze the foreground branches from a close-by tree, leaving the 8 seconds to gather in all those photons from the sky and my neighbor’s tree. The orange glow is from the city lights – it was dark but you could see the sky, full of moisture, picking up the light reflected from the street-lights and such.

The branches look like they are tiny alien arms, reaching out.

Not what I expected it to look like, but I like it!
