Lost Maples SNA at Night

[Matthew Roberts]

Inspired by the Jan. Contest, I dredged up some night photos from Lost Maples State Natural Area.

Do I see hot pixels?

Seriously though at this small size it is hard to distinguish the details.

You do see the Pleiades!

OK got it. #1 & #3 do it for me.

The rest are LOST IN SPACE.

#1 enlarged gives a much better look at the tree which anchors the shot for me. I also like the amber glow.

#3 I am attracted to the night flight of the communters, center screen.

Setup, lense, exposure, ISO? I don't get any EXIF data with right click.

Good.

Not good.

I like it, too. It's the glow of San Antonio!

#3 I am attracted to the night flight of the communters, center screen.

What commuters? Are you writing of the satellite?

Sorry 'bout that, whenever I add borders in PSP XI, it eliminates the EXIF data. From what I remember, these pictures are mostly at 18mm, 30-20s, ISO 1600, with the 18-55 kit lens, and a K100D.

BTW, #5 is of Orion, you can see his belt in the middle of the photo.

I thought #3 had the flashing red light of a passing airplane which gave the dotted line but on closer inspection it is multicolored. A satellite you say?

Either or. I can't remember.
