Description

This was taken late night when I got up to see what my hubby was up to. I loved the colours and asked if I could take a quick pick. Using only the lighting provided by his desk lamp I adjusted the ISO to 800, turned off the flash and put the dial on AV, held my breath and shot. The aperture was set to approx 5. I sharpened the wings a touch in PS and cropped a bit on the right.
