I spent the holidays in Ohio to see my father and mother who have been in and out of the hospital and it’s not often that I make it up here. I sometimes forget the sort of countryside Ohio has to offer which is just plain flat. My sister who lives in the middle of no mans land is where I stayed and I have been here before but forgot how bright the stars are and how the none existing city lights surrounds her farm. This down time is something I needed and took advantage of to mess around with the camera and try new things. I love the sky and love landscapes so with cold nights and with a high cirrus deck of clouds which I might add cut out star light from time to time I took some photos of the sky where I was located. The image below was taken with the Nikon 10.5mm fisheye lens and Nikon D300. I took a total of 203 photos each lasting 30 seconds at f-stop 3.5 and with an ISO of 620. Then took the 203 images and stacked them to come up with the image below. I think you can find the North star without any trouble. I will also be posting a couple of time lapse videos of these images which turned out really incredible. The next three weeks will be very busy for me and should have plenty of new images for everyone to check out. I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving and spent it with love one’s and family.
