Holmes Lake by Moonlight at Midnight
Color-corrected for Sodium Vapor Only

Holmes Lake, Lincoln, Nebraska

This decidedly bluer version of panorama is only corrected for the sodium vapor
light dome where I used a GTMB calibration shot done a week later just before the
moon rose, and the sky clear enough I could count six of the seven sisters, overhead.

The RAW conversion is also about 1 stop dimmer to make it seem more realistic, although
this is difficult due to the eyes' non-linear color response where dim scenes are seen
as black and white with a hint of blue since the blue receptors seem more senstitive.
