I was experimenting more with photographing the stars this past weekend, and didn’t think of it until the sun went down that there was almost a full moon, so it was hard to get a “Milky Way” shot.  However, the sky was clear, and my campfire was doing a fine job of Light Painting the nearby trees, giving the photo a really cool effect that I was pleased with.

This one was a 15 second exposure, f2.8, 12.0mm and ISO 800 (I kept it lower since there was so much external light with the moon, etc).
