thanks Lynne, I tried the highlighting and also my screen lighting -didn't work. Maybe Mr. Motts will oblige. I have an old Mac in my basement but I won't go down there ;-)

Good Lord! I was thinking that "long" meant 30 to 45 seconds!

quest, if I put my cursor on this webpage and press "Select All", it makes the entire page a light blue. This then lights up the page and you can see all the details. Someone with a pc, explain how to do that to quest using a pc - I gots a Macintosh. :-)

If that doesn't work and Motts doesn't mind, I can download the pic and highlight it and send it to you.

Quest, there were no street lights lit, but rather the landscape is being illuminated by the full moon, which is bright enough to light everything up without taking ridiculously long exposures. These averaged around 8-20 minutes long.

Lynne: How does one accomplish this view? I'd love to do this. I understand how one could digitally redo this and lighten it and really see the leaves on the trees--I just don't know how !
Any sugestions out there?

Remember these are night time photos. Mr. Motts, excuse me and I may be incorrect, but were these taken in the dead of night--no lights? If so, the reason why we can see the building is due to the expertise of the photographer and lensmans. Correct me if I am misinformed (anyone) --I'm so happy with these photos., Mr. Motts!
...It seems that the dead of night presents the most accurate representations...?

Great site all the way around. One comment about the building "bending". I think this is what is known as "parallax distortion". Usually an undesirable effect but may work in some situations. See http://www.outbackphoto.com/workflow/wf_58/essay.html

Really great photography and quality site.

Motts this surely has to be the most intriguing of all the great shots you've taken. It almost doesn't look real, and it would make a great Halloween wallpaper. Breathtaking!
