how did you take such and extrordinary picture?

I have a dimage z3 digital camera, and it has a "nightshot" mode. I used an
old tripod so I wouldn;t get camera shake, becase it keeps the apeture open
for a whiel to get enough light.

I took 5 segential pics in a row, and then used photoshop cs's ability to
make panorama shots.

When you take very low light shots like this, you usually get a LOT of
noise.. I use Noise Ninja2 to reduce cam noise, and then usd a light
gaussian blur to smooth out some of the harsh edges.

The original picture is MUCH larger then posted, about 38 MEG in size, and
when you downsize images, that also usually sharpens details some.

The lights around the pond at christms blue twinkle lights on wire "posts",
and tha actual colored lighting is actually colored flood lights we use in
the yard. (a red one was front/center, an amber one was on the back trees,
and a blue one was facing back right.) Colored lighting makes SUCH a huge
difference!

You can see our gargoyle spitter (he's about 2-3 foot tall!) but look like a
munchkin in the pic!

I'm going to take another similar one from a higher angle as soon as I get a
clear bright night like that one was again.

Cool.. My wife added it to her system as well, and I added it to my
wallpaper rotation.
