Hi all.
This photo was taken at 1130 last night. I was camping in the Kaimanawa Forest adjacent to the Tongariro National park. I had a clear night and full moon and the only illumination for this shot was moonlight and starlight.
An exposure of about 10 minutes and aperture of F6.3 gave me enough light to work with. It took a lot of work in PSP to clone out all the “hot pixels”. If anybody knows a better way I’m open to suggestions. I ran the digital noise filter also.
Converted from RAW.
Happy Easter.
Enjoy, Paul.

I’m posting this at the request of Rajib (yeti1975). This is the camera produced jpg with only resizing for TE. This doesn’t look to bad at the smaller size but the “hot pixels” can be seen on close inspection, they are the odd coloured small dots sprinkled through the image. There is also a strange colour cast on the lower left that I suspect is caused by sensor warming but that is just a guess.
