MCNAIR FAIR [CONYERS GA]

I really like that second photo.

The 'star' effect comes from using a (relatively) small aperture for a low light, long exposure shot. The light from the street lamps actually diffuse around the edges of the individual aperture blades in the lens which gives the star shape.

Chad, did you try any rear curtain sync shots that night?
