Night Sky Photos

[Camilla and Darwin]

These are the photos DH and I got during last night's meteor shower. Unfortunately, we didn't capture any meteors, but we saw SO many! It was by far the most active meteor shower I've viewed, pretty much anytime you stopped and looked at the sky you could see a bright meteor, very very cool!

Here are the photos we did get - the Big Dipper, star trails, DH silhouetted by the Milky Way, so much fun! I can't wait for next year.

The only downside to the night was dealing with the noise levels in the  photos. In order for the photos to be visible we needed at least 3200 ISO which my camera REALLY doesn't handle well. Sigh, if only I had a full frame camera.... :-)

Manual Exposure, 30sec, f/4 ISO 6400

Camilla, I'm way behind in this group, so I'm just seeing these.  They are really stunning!  Great job.

These are very good Sandy.

I really like the first one!

Sandy, wow. Blown away by the first two. WOW.

My night skies look blue, and they photograph orange because I never have my white balance set correctly. Once I correct it in camera RAW it looks blue like it did in person.

Really, really love the first two shots Sandy.....and my hat's off to you.....so brave to go out into the dark of night....I'm a chicken inside my own house at nite!

Sandy, I love these with the landscape feature in the first three and the lights at the bottom of the last shot sets them apart and give perspective.
