The only light used was the moon. I was surprised, since it was so bright being full, that it took a 13 second exposure to get workable shots. I know, there is motion blur in her hair. A breeze was blowing and it just couldn't be helped. Shot at 1:30m a.m. - exif says 2:30 because I never changed it at daylight savings time. It was cold - about 35F. I was real happy to actually be working with a model. Only did this once before, just the other day, same model, for an entirely different shot for the same challenge. It just didn't work out though - elements in the shot were not removable and no way to eliminate them naturally. So however this did, I am happy. Learned a lot about the camera, processing, and got to work with a beautiful model.

| the lighting give this a very cool, creepy feel for me. Of course, the toting eggplants doesn't help to emphasize it, though ;) |
