The other evening, Kris Sabbatino and I stopped at the old Maine Central station at Crawford, New Hampshire shortly after moonrise to make night photos of the station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mounted my Lumix LX7 on a heavy Bogan tripod and set the ISO to 200. Working in manual mode, I set the camera to between 40 and 80 seconds and tripped the shutter manually (without using the self timer).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working with the RAW files in Lightroom, I made slight adjustments to highlights and shadows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catching the stars in the night sky has always been a favorite effect of mine. I first tried this back in 1977 in my back yard in Monson, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
