Aperture: F3.5

 My first really long exposure and my first shot in a really long time. I took this during the Geminid Meteor Shower. I couldn't capture the meteors, so I went for the stars instead. Lost of fun.

Editing: not much besides pulling out the blues.

Great colors. I actually think the inside frame detracts from the picture.

I sure wish something was sharp and not moving. I know, not possible when the wind blows the tree's. But the star trails are cool, in fact awesome.

I feel this would have worked better without the border.

With no foreground element, or anything in focus, it is hard to appreciate the rest of the shot.
