Flashlight, Camera and Dogwood Tree
Oct 5, 2020 12:15:37 #
Was getting a little bored last night so out to the deck after dark playing around with a flashlight. Hadn’t really tried this before but did a little research in the past. Just wondering what you think, and remember constructive criticism always welcome.

First of all great shot. I see nothing to criticize 
I would like to know more about how you accomplished it: lens, f stop and shutter speed anything else you are willing to tell us. I wonder if your technique would work on a cactus?

Well, you got a good result with this exercise. And added something in your quiver for your next scenic night scene.

Then started taking test shots while changing f stop and checking results.

You made a perfect exposure, IMO. The only issue I see is a bit of motion blur (not surprising for such a long exposure). I would just support the branch with something black to stabilize it. (Maybe some black thread would do the trick, but make sure it is not shiny).
