aha! a flashlight! I couldnt for the life of me figure out what the heck that dotted trail lighting was..nice how it lined up with tree's trunk! Good for you and in such a hurry!
I know nobody reads 12th place after a challenge, but i will tell my story anyways. I found out about this challenge the day it was due! And of course it is summer in the northern hemisphere and of course i am on the west side of the US! The sun does not set untill 8:30PM and the challenge was due at 9:00! Stars didnt come out untill 8:50!! ugh so i only got one shot at it, and someone walked by with their flashlight! anyways, look out for my retry in free study with the star shot.
I can't help wondering what the line is that is intersecting the star trails - its a little distracting to me but it strikes me as the kind of thing you'd either like or dislike. Good effort.
Excellent foreground to complement the star trails. I see you captured a plane going past as well. Not sure whats going on with the red in the left, 'residue' from sunset?
Super long exposure and composition. I'm sure it's been said, but too bad about the line going through the image. I would imagine it would be impossible to clone out. Your blacks are really nice and crisp.
I think 'Night Flight' would have been a possibly better title. But we're not here to vote on titles and yours is fine. It's too bad for size constraints. Having to shrink these star-trail photos I think has reduced the true beauty of them. It looks over-sharpened but I understand. I'll go with an 8
Very nice shot already as such, but the plane trail makes it special. Maybe you could have cloned out the hotspots, they do disturb (but I am envious that you have so few, compared to what I end up with...).
nice photo, the trees are good, but perhpas having polaris (the northstar) in the shot would have framed it better. You seem to have plenty of stuck pixles, a darkframe would have helped.
