Moonlit Lake Buteo
At Knob Noster State Park near Knob Noster, Missouri
These are my first stars - and they're way overdue in my photostream. Sadly they aren't that great here due to the moon being up, but at least it wasn't a full moon. I used a wide open aperture to keep my ISO low, which made the foliage a bit soft. I am looking forward to more attempts. I've got a lot to learn when it comes to night-sky photography! :)
Had a close call with the (very nice) Park Ranger who caught me shooting at midnight in this day-use only area. He kindly let me go since I was camping in the campground a short walk away.
