Dave's Cabin by manypixels (500px.com/manypixels)

My friends Dave & Lisa built this cabin in the woods. Nobody will ever find it. Here is where we hang out with our best friends, play with dogs, smoke cigars, and drink a lot of good wine. It is perfect. Dave, Lisa, thank you so much. The image is a combination of three exposures — one for the lit porch, one for most of the rest of the building, and one for the star trails. Everything was going perfectly until the moon decided to rise in the middle of the star trails exposure. I had to re-mask the trees that were now lit by moonlight, which completely destroyed the look I was going for. I'm still planning to redo this shot sometime, when we're not busy drinking wine or sitting by the fire. via 500px http://ift.tt/1hLSEqW
