Very nice. Beautiful serene feeling. So how did the 138 second test turn out? ;)

Nice christmas mood picture. Are you Santa or why do you have such a backyard :) I like the colors.

very beautiful. wish I can go to places as wonderful as this. however, I'm curious: why iso500? since you're doing bulb, iso100 would give less noise and more details.

i know.... it was set on Auto ISO and I forgot to take that into account. Thanks for the idea, though. There's a comet that's been in the sky lately.. maybe i can try for some good ones of that at good 'ol 100.
