Arrived home last night about 15:45 hrs after leaving my brothers place at 03:00 hrs. As always, the fishing was great.
When one gets away from the light pollution of civilization, you can really begin to appreciate the night time sky. Millions and millions of stars, planets and even the occasional satellite.
Using 30 second exposures I captured these images of the sky from just north of Nakina Ontario.
In the first photo, a satellite can be seen streaking across the sky near the top right corner.
The second photo was taken near where the camp fire was burning and the redddish glow is the reflection of the fire off of the trees.
The third photo captures a portion of the milky way galaxy.
Photo 4, my favorite of the set was taken along the driveway to my brothers cabin and was shot to capture the Big Dipper Constellation and the last is a "closeup" of the dipper.
I think the slight blurr is a combination of two things, one...camera shake when depressing the shutter button and the second thing I am thinking is perhaps because of the length of the exposure the stars in the sky would have moved slightly to the location of the camera.
Perhaps someone with more experience with long night exposures of the sky can confirm or deny my second thought.
Hope you enjoy.
Cheers,
Jeff
