Summary[edit]

Description
English: Holma Boat Club at Gullmarn fjord, Lysekil Municipality, Sweden. This part of the fjord consists mostly of nature reserves, so there are no street lights and very few houses in the area. The scene was only lit by the moon, at the time approaching full at 97.2%. The shot was made in a north-easterly direction, so the brighter sky on the right side is not the setting sun but the E6 highway, the Gothenburg - Oslo stretch. To reduce noise, most of the photo was done by merging three exposures using this technique. This noise reduction can't be use on the sky since the stars move (relatively speaking), so it was only done to the non-sky part of the photo.
