Description

Perception: Working in aerospace, and participating in Flight Testing, I get to see some cool stuff..... On a recent October evening, far from populated areas, we were setting up for a night-flight profile. Shortly after sundown the moon started to rise with its light dramatically reflecting off from the low clouds. The air was still and crisp as the temperature started to drop - As we coordinated with Air Traffic Control for the test vehicle to enter the designated airspace we heard a faint whistling noise approaching from the right... Being close to Halloween it became obvious that we were not the only ones out there on that night...... As you know, the camera does not lie.......

Exif: F Number: 14, Exposure Bias Value: 1.00, ExposureTime: 1/1600 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 200, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 10.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 50D

Reality: This is a late afternoon capture of the sun-setting behind an old tree that is rich with character - I photographed the witch, one of our Halloween decorations, in our home and added it to the image. I boosted the colors with NIK Color Efex (DD) #1593242
