Arborluna



This was my first night-time picture. I had only had my camera for a short while, and was still learning how it works. I was preparing to take a picture of Mir-Atlantis (see Mir-Atlantis), and I wanted to make sure that I could keep the shutter open for longer than a second. I do not know how long I kept it open, but this was the lovely result.

About the Title:
The name of our moon is "Luna", and "arbor" means tree. In this photograph, the light from the moon bends around the branches of the tree in front of it, making them seem to merge.
