I was trying to get a "light star" effect on the pool lights in this image. You may have to click on the image to see it larger in order to see the "light stars."
Shooting just before sunset from a tripod with a Canon 5D Mark II and my EF 24-105 mm f/4L IS USM lens, I turned off auto-focus and image stabilization on the lens and framed the shot at a focal length of 35 mm. Shooting in manual exposure mode, I set the aperture at f/22, ISO at 800, and manually underexposed the image by -2/3 stop at 1/25 second. To minimize motion blur, I tripped the shutter with a remote cable release.
Post processing was done in CS4.
