Star Trails and Image Stacker

davidryan

Hi all--

Just posting my first attempt at using image stacker. I took 10 exposures, 1 minute each. It was awfully windy last night here in Colorado and so the photo is shaky but I wanted to at least share my first try.

Right-- my family lives very far out in the middle of nowhere southeast of Denver. Their ranch is in the flight path of KDEN or Denver International Airport-- so tonight I'll go out late-- after the flights have all landed!

Airplane not really a negitive thing to me. Kinda cool, actually. I'd think it even cooler if you caught a couple - different flight paths and all.

I was taking long exposure night shots a while ago and probably took ten or twelve of a particular scene, as I was trying some differnet exposures, and was trying to manually focus on something in the foreground... yada yada. Ends up, I caught a shooting star in the ONE that turned out the BEST anyways! Gotta love it! (i'd post but it's not in my smugmug...)

Happy shooting - long live the dedicated and freezing long exposure junkies.
