The spooky ruin


Photo Information
Got my new LED head light today and wanted to test it immediately. So I went on the mountain above Heidelberg where you find the ruins of a very old cloister in the middle of a deep forest - honestly - being there alone at 10 pm was really spooky and very cold
Mounted my K20D on a tripod, activated 12 sec. timer, turned off autofocus, set a manual shutter speed of 20 seconds and steped in front of the camera and illuminated the ruin with my torch (the orange light in the sky came from the illuminated city of Heidelberg which is at the food of this mountain

Good. I got the same colour-sky on December 2010 due to lights coming from railway station of Florence. So it's normal...I'm glad for this....

That's wonderful, I love the soft yet striking colours; it's this sort of photograph that makes me want to keep on learning. Thank you Axel!
