Stars and not least spot lights above Mont Saint Michel.

Stars and not least spot lights above Mont Saint Michel. These spotlights are amazing. The top of the bell tower of the monastery at Mont Saint Michel rises about 150m above the sea level, but these spotlights are just lighting up the sky.

This is the second image I have posted of these spotlights, and the first time I posted, someone wrote to me, that Saint Mont Michel did no look that way with the spot lights. I know I like to play with my images, but in this case I did not add the spotlights. This is the original unedited image:

Saint Mont Michel - before

Nikon 28-300, 28mm, F ISO 1250, f/5.6, 25.0 sec.

Because Mont Saint Michel has so many spotlights at night, and the night itself was pitch dark, it is impossible to capture all light in one shot. The shot above is the brightest shot, and the monastery itself is completely blown out while the stars are nice. I shot from -2 to +4, 7 shots all together.
