Lightning and Night Sky
Lens: Tamron 17-50 f2.8 Camera: Pentax K-x Photo Location: Northern Illinois 
Posted By: krp, 03-29-2011, 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.

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!
