Night Photography (test shot)

Wouldn't feel good about not posting a picture today!! Ok, this is not a great shot by any means but the concept is way cool and I wanted to share. See the little white lines (might have to click on the picture to see the larger version)? They're stars. The blur pattern is created because of the earth's rotation. And since this was a 5-minute that is quite obvious.

Again, I shot this last night before going to bed just outside our place because I wanted to try it. Unfortunately the light from the city doesn't lead to the best lighting conditions for long exposures like this...but again, the idea is cool. If you want to see some unreal night shots, hop over to this site. Seriously, they're all night-time shots....at like 2am! Hard to believe huh!! You can also scroll through this page to see some cool star shots and read a bit about the technical side of things.
