cool, just some blue lights right?

Yes. A long line of blue leds spaced 12 inches apart. It’s perfect in real life. I get kind of a spooky full moon effect which I love. Difficult to get it right in pictures though without adding some “sun”

Very nice effect!!! Only suggestion - a tripod. [:)]

Thanks guys,

I know about the tripod, BELIEVE me! [swg]

I’ll be getting one when I get a new camera. This is a very simple compact camera and while good taking pics of the kids and so on it’s not up to this task at all. I need to get a good one. It’s just so irritating when I have a very good camera sitting there but which isn’t digital.

Magnus,

Thanks for posting. Gotta agree with Lou. A tripod will really help with clarity with the night shots. Setting the timer will also help.

I did use the timer on the good ones. The other ones where handheld with obviously poor results. The camera is also a problem. Even with the timer and the camera stationary the camera some times goes out of focus a few seconds before the picture is taken. I really need a new camera and a tripod.

EXCELLENT! Looks like a real cold, dark night!
