One evening I was walking back from the Estuary below our house. It was getting dark. My eyes were drawn to the top of a nearby pine tree. I felt there was something there, but I really could not see well enough to know for sure. Curious, I took a very long exposure.
When I brought my camera down and looked back up, there wasn’t anything there. Yet, I really thought I had seen something.
I went inside and uploaded this image. I had to crank up the exposure in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. Sure enough, I had captured an owl and its trail.
