Moon, Jupiter, Venus, stars, and aircraft
Posted in 5DMII, Available Light, Composite, sky on February 29, 2012 by budbranchThis is a composite of 548 night sky photos taken over the span of 4 hours last week. You can easily see Jupiter, Venus, and our Moon setting lower right. Many aircraft light streaks were included (each exposure was 20 seconds, so any aircraft wandering through was rendered as a streak). The light at the bottom was created by the chance return of a car to the parking lot.
Local Color

I am training to be paraglider pilot! I made these images this week at the soccer fields at Darden Towe Park, where I and my instructor were practicing “kiting” the paraglider wing in gentle wind.
