Greetings Richard, As I have told you before, I have a very simple automatic compact camera, thatdon't aloow me to do big things, I just turned the flash off and shoot it, usually with timer and "not breathing" while the camera shoots. Now, surprise the lights you see are from apartments, just to show how low was the moon that night and since Ilive on a 10th floor, the moon looked it was on the same level of the other buildings.

Cheers,

Alex

HI Daniela, as I said to Richard, I took them the simplest way you can imagine, no flash and standing "without breathing" till the camera shoots. The other lights you see are from apartments on 10/12 stores buildings like mine. The moon was really near the Horizon on that night.

Cheers and thanks for visiting my Experiments.

It is amazing! Those lights are not stars. Beautiful picture. If you haven't said anything, I wouldn't have had any doubt that they are stars.

Thanks a lot Mohammed, yes they can be confusing.

Even myself had doubts, but hten I remeber when I took it and the moon was so low on the horizon, so it has to be lights from the buildings. If you open it in full screen you can check they are from buildings.

Cheers,

Alex
