Comet NeoWise

As covered in the “About” section of this website, I was spurred into taking this image by a picture my neighbor sent me. It was just pure luck that a neighbor’s barn, 3/4 of a mile up the road, was well lined up with the comet. The barn, shed, and silo were well lighted by the yard light, but it was completely dark by the road where this image is taken from. I did not have a flashlight with any batteries in it, so how was I going to light the foreground fence and ground in order to fill the frame? The front headlights of my car turned out to work perfectly!
