Looking towards the Gold Coast

[stephencamptonjones]

10:30 Sunday night BORED, I drove out to the mother-in-laws to take some star trails. Actually I was frustrated as I was trying to photograph some constellations with a 50mm lens mounted on a telescope and all I got was trails, the telescope needed better polar alignment.
The Gold Coast is in the center and Kyogle (16km away) is on the left.
Canon 550D and Nikon 20mm f3.5 @f4 30secs ISO 3200
The power lines are a distraction.
I like the colour reflecting off the clouds, nice light pollution

Very nice Stephen,

I have to admit I had missed the power lines (until I read what you said)

Note to others; this is definitiely one to F11 your browser full screen, then click to view in Lytebox.

Cheers,

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing...

Thanks Dave and Trina.
I'm working on removing the power lines but I keep making patterns in the noise that stick out a sore thumb.

I honestly had a really hard time even spotting them... sometimes its just as well to leave it:> I know YOU can see them :>
