Artist's Comments

This shot was taken at night on a lake near Pellinge (an islet near Porvoo, Finland). We visited Pellinge with *ageofloss for some sunsets and stayed for some night shots afterwards.

180 sec exposure with Peleng 8mm fish-eye, I centered the horizon so the distortion would be minimal. I also used slave flash to light up the stones on the foreground little bit.

I wanted to have the sky full with stars with a dream-like atmosphere so i used ISO400 & f/5,6 and I didn't want the exposure time to get too long for the stars to move around too much. I did some longer exporures too but more movement meant less visible stars.

I hope you enjoy this photo! =)

It almost looks surreal. The rocks look as they are painted :-)

Very nice.

Very painterly... I am so jealous that you have access to such scenery.
Great sense of color and framing. The slightly off center moon helps to balance the composition. My only suggestion, given that you had to put the horizon centered to avoid distortion, would be to consider cropping a bit at the top and bottom to really accent the wideness of the shot: maybe a bit over the moon on top and just above the bottom most rock; producing a landscape shot that stresses the vastness of the image (a thing lost by using ultra wide lenses)

offering suggestions in the vain hope that other people may do the same for me
