On the Move
I’ve entered a photograph from the Louisville Aids Walk into the theme “On the Go” for JPG Magazine. Please go vote for it here:
Lunar Eclipse
not very good pictures tonight, but i need to learn more about astrophotography.
This is my very first star trail picture, taken at 9:18pm at my parents house in the country. The light along the horizon is from the a town thats about 15 miles away.
Star Trail Fever
It’s official, Ive got Star Trail Fever. After finally figuring out how to control my camera with opening the shutter for several minutes I now am a pro. ha ha. No seriously, when taking pictures tonight of the lunar eclipse i realized the stars were brighter than ever. If it wasn’t for my battery going dead I probably would have got some really great star trail shots. I did however did get at least a couple decent pictures of the eclipse itself. But in two years I will be ready for it. I came home and read a really long tutorial about taking photographs of star trails and i am ready to become a full time zombie and go out each night to try to pull this off. I really wish I had the chance to take photographs of star trails when i was in the desert, wow they would have been fantastic. Oh well, theres always room for another road trip in my life. So anyway I went and tested the star trail thing in the backyard, which was interesting because I live in the city so its pretty pointless. But it was just practice.
This picture was taken at 4:15am so obviously there was way too much light around, but I cant wait to take more in better circumstances. You can barely make out the tiny little trails, but i only had the shutter open for 1 minute. I cant wait to go someplace far away from cities and take a photograph with a 3 hour timer on it. I want the full deal, the entire circle. watch this space for future star trails!!
