Iridium Flare from the Buren

Post by Frank Ryan » Mon May 05, 2008 8:43 am

Well lads,
here is that shot of the Iridium Flare we saw.
Now that we know the light on the horizon is actually a
'seurity' light, it makes my heart sing thinking about it.
There really should be a law against this kind of light pollution!

Anyhow,
We are still lucky to have the place.

Lovely shot Frank.
I actually think that the security light adds interest in the overall picture composition.
I'd hang that on a wall!

Thanks Don.
I actually agree that the light gives it more atmosphere
(although I simply abhor outdoor lighting to begin with!)

Sometimes you just gotta work with what you've been given.
