I gave my camera to my daughter while I was driving and said "start shooting!" The shot was gone in about 30 seconds because the clouds were moving fast.

December 14th, 2009, This 15 second exposure shows the fading blue sky and the stars.


I left the leaf in the lower right, when tried to crop it out the clouds started to feel crowded. It also starts the progression of the clouds.

How I did the December 11th shot below.

This was the set up. My goal was a shot that looked like day light coming through a window. I put light through the openings in a mirror frame to give the shape of window light, I diffused it with some screen door mesh that may be hard to see in this photo. I over exposed to give the bright highlights. Then I took it into Photoshop lightroom and processed it for the final look. The blue and white towel is covering my bird, She does not like to stay up this late.
