A chimney, a pitched roof, and a sky lit end to end. I caught this little hut alongside the old Youghal railway just as the light gave up for the evening, the blue overhead sliding down into a thin band of orange at the horizon. Two stretched-out lenticular clouds hung there like someone had smudged them with a thumb, and that single bright point above the roofline, a planet, almost certainly, given how steadily it sat was the first thing out before the proper stars arrived. The hut itself becomes pure shape at this hour, all detail swallowed, just the outline of the chimney pot to give it character. Down at the bottom you can pick out the scattered house lights of the town settling in for the night.

There are no fancy gear tricks here. Expose for the night sky and let everything else go dark.
