Night Lightning and Night Sky

Lightning and Night Sky · 06:39 PM

1. I made this panorama from my backyard a couple nights ago. You can hardly see anything here, to see the full size, go to: Starry Night @ United States | Panogio - A panoramic world

2. A few clouds at night.

3. The international space station flying overhead.

4. ISS flying towards the sunrise.

5. Combination of 2 pictures.

6. The clouds had a little bit of color.

7. Combination of 3 pictures.

8. Startrails after the blizzard last month. You can watch a time lapse video here:

9. Chicago after sunset as viewed from a plane.

Thanks. I want to try another panorama like that because the focus wasn't perfect.

WOW. Love the pano and the lightening shots make my toes curl.

Really a very very interesting thread. Thanks for posting these !

I guess I have to read my K-x manual to find out how to do this. I hate it when people with the same camera do things I don't do. These pictures are inspiring.

Yeah, I was looking at that and he has the same camera/lens setup I have. Guess I've got some more work to do!
