Nice one Raj - Can we look forward to more night shots?

I like how the lights in the house across the way are behind the tree branches - it gives an eerie air.

The night shot really highlights the magnificence of the wonderful trees.

I agree with lyn about the lighting, it does give an eerie feel, very cool shot Raj. tigs=^..^=

I use manual mode for shots like this as well, and you should have an opportunity for another with the approaching lunar eclipse. Try using whatever lens you have that has the lowest built-in f-stop, setting your camera's f-stop as low as it will go, your ISO at 800 or less (to avoid noise), the camera setting to bulb, and, of course, a tripod with a remote cabled shutter release. Take your first shot at 10 seconds, studying what that gives you and continue shooting, increasing the exposure by a couple seconds until your captures are what you were hoping for. Unlike film cameras, digital photography allows us so much more leeway. Stay warm.
