Stars -First Attempts
We took a trip up north this week and I thought it a good time to try out some star shots.
Trouble is, it's a full moon and darn bright! Nonetheless, here's the best shot of the bunch.
The Big Dipper. To be honest, the moon was so bright that I couldn't see the full constellation with the naked eye.

One thing I did notice was that despite all of the shutter-time recommendations regarding eliminating star movement, anything over 15 seconds resulted in a slight but noticeable arc for each star.
While I'm off, shooting in the woods, the fam was having a recreational bonfire.
Fire and stars in one shot!

The rest of the shots here.
