Sintra’s nightsky


First attempt at nocturnal photography. I’ve found and framed a very nice composition with Ursa Major dominating the skyline and trees reflecting over a lake. The sky had some low height travelling clouds, reflecting the city lights behind me and providing good fill illumination bellow. They gave an interesting dynamic to the sky but also hidden most of the stars.
Anyway, I reckon that this photographic technique is very demanding, getting good exposures needs a lot of practice and post-editing goes beyond witchcraft stuff. Challenge accepted!
