The lights of Keswick can be seen at centre right, illuminating the mountains, with most

'Hi Tony, I just wanted to let you know that we received the canvas {Derwent Water,
Night 36x24”} this morning. It looks beautiful! Thank you so much for all your help'.
Sincerely, J.A, New Jersey, USA
'Hello Tony, Your beautiful fine art print arrived on Friday. It's now hanging in the
bedroom and looks stunning. Many thanks and best wishes, H,H, Yorkshire' (bought 76cm
print of this image)
For Photographers: - How I took the image
I had the tripod as high as it would go, so that the jetty in the foreground had enough space around it,
not clashing it with the background. Doing a few test exposures showed that this image suited overexposure,
and this image looked best at 2 stops over the meter reading. Using 1600 ISO kept the stars as points of light
rather than trails, but also meant the image would be noisy. I had to carefully run it through 'Noise Ninja'
Photoshop plug-in to remove unacceptable noise, whilst using the History Eraser to bring back some of the
foliage edges (which noise reduction doesn't do well with).
