Experimenting at photographing the night sky with long exposure. Canon Rebel XS, ISO 100, F8, 4 mins, 16mm.

  1. Nice. It's interesting how things we see in the sky that look stationary are moving quite rapidly!

  4. It's like a random, encoded message, almost like punch cards (showing my age).

  5. It looks great and it's surprising how very much the position changes in just four minutes. I've been wanting to try this also. I have finally unpacked my tripod (after having moved over a year ago). Now I just want to wait for somewhat warmer nights.. and a clear one at that. You did a fine job of this.

  6. Good job! Did you leave your camera outside in the cold for four minutes?

    1. Yes. I have glass sliding door so I could watch the timer. Also use a remote control.

  7. Nice! I went out the other night because the stars and Milky Way we're so clear, but it was so windy that the camera moved even on the tripod. I don't know why I don't think of night photography in the summer months! (0:

  8. Nice star trails, Andy. It's fun to experiment with night photography. There are so many different approaches and techniques. I'm lucky to have the nice dark skies of Joshua Tree near by to conduct my "experiments"!!
