    1. Thanks! No, it's a daytime shot (note that the photo capture time can be seen on the right). This one was in a dark area near the ground though. I should have brightened a bit more during post processing. Posted 7 years ago
      1. I think the lighting is perfect! Really brings out some of the details/textures! Posted 7 years ago
