    90% sure that's a male sparrowhawk. Peregrine has black markings around the eyes.

    I must admit, I did experience a slight moment of rising fear. But thoughts of aperature, shutter speeds etc. soon blocked it out! That and a powerful LED lamp :)

    Do you mind me asking how you get the sky like that? I assume it's a composite image, but curious as to the settings for getting that sort of sky.

    I'd say that could well be a single exposure:
    ႒/3.2 14.0 mm 20(s) 1600

    I would guess he used that LED torch to paint the headstones briefly during those 20s. I've done similar with people in rural Waterford before.

    You mean a 20s exposure, with the torch maybe turned on for just a few of those seconds?

    Literally just a flicker is enough, flashgun style just not quite as intense.

    I think this would make a stunning B&W, the light and shade would look very abstract.

    Different Perspective by Adrian Sadlier, on Flickr
    Honestly, this is incredible. Love this photo.

    Flickr says 5 sec exposure, but the luas and the car in the background are sharp?
