"wow!" - a photo on Flickriver

"wow!"

Inspired title from pointing my camera over my garden fence towards the sky last night! I just love star trails and it's something I have been practicing in the garden for some time but never happy with the end result to share!

View On Black

However, after last nights 90 minutes of shooting I was very keen to see the results this morning! Sadly I hadn't factored in where the moon was going to rise - so had to crop out the bottom of this image - which is a shame as there were more trees and part of the fence! But the slowly moving moon left too bright a mark on the bottom of the image!

I've cloned out a plane flying across the shot which has given a small gap as minus 2 frames and 1 minute in time. It was such a clear night last night that I couldn't believe how many stars I could see from my garden in a residential area of a busy little town! I realise I didn't point at the North Star but I didn't want to, I wanted to focus on the area that I could see lots of stars and see what happened to them or should I say us!!
