Single shot Canon R full spectrum 28-75 Tamron (old) @ 28mm 13 sec f2.8 iso12800
This picture happened totally by accident. A critter must have activated my neighbors security light. It stayed on about 5 minutes and in that time I managed to capture this photo.
I only did some color correction and other minor adjustment with Affinity Photo 2. The security light truly lite up the mountain!
This is just one of those times when you are in the right place at the right time. I was already out taking Milky shots when the world lit up! Thanks to whatever critter turned on my neighbors security light.
