Yesterday it was windy and warm for 54 degrees or so. Cloudy all day with the sun peaking out late in the day. Then last night it really got quiet until the thunder and lightning started. Wind blew up every now and then but generally remained calm. Somewhere around 11:00 PM or so I looked out and it was dead still. Water on the pond was smooth as glass and there was a low fog hanging in the air. Looking up you could see broken clouds and some stars. That's not all that bad considering we live close to several cities so I would suspect reflections of their lighting.
I decided to set the camera to monochrome as I would really like to get better at black and white photography. At any rate I set it up to these numbers for this image.
Definitely not a point and shoot.
