Picture taken along Saskatchewan Avenue. This is an example of how photography can show you things you couldn't see with your own eyes. In person, the tree was mostly a silhouette against the street-lighting in the background. Also, the picture catches the streak from a satellite or shooting star just above the tree. The photo was quite grainy, so I used the GIMP and ran a "Selective Gaussian Blur" with parameters of 40/20 (IIRC). SGB does a pretty good job at removing noise. Anyways, I'm slowly learning how to take pics with less noise... lower ISO, longer exposure times, white-balance set to "sunlight", low sharpening; they all seem to help a bit.
