Startrails

Camera - night - stars - what could be more fun? This was 15 separate images combined in Photoshop. For each image the shutter was open for 30 seconds. It was rather windy. It was rather cold. I was dumb enough to be wearing shorts. For this series I just sat on the porch in a rocking chair wrapped up inside a blanket and hit the remote every 30 seconds to get the shots. The full moon lit up the sky a bit more then I would have liked - but it is still a cool shot. I believe I can use Nikon Capture to automatically do it via laptop control - but I don't have a copy of that. I'll have to see if they have a limited use version.
