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!

Nice!

I think that this shot was a real winner and deserved a much higher placing. even more so after reading about your time constraint! Well done!

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.

Nice sharp foreground and great star trails. The diagonal line is a distraction though.

You spin me right round baby, right round.

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.

Simple...yet effective.

love the composition of the silhouette trees in the photo

I love this effect! Nice job!

good use of the horizon to provide some framing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

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?

Well done, excellent job, one of my top picks.

my 2nd favorite star trail!! :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I love the way the acceleration of the plane is visible. I recommend cloning out the hot pixels next time. Otherwise, looks great!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/05/2008 10:36:19 AM
very cool to watch time this way...that dotted line going to the trees is odd
plane or something?

Nice backlighting and composition.

Great work!

Nice trails
  Photographer found comment helpful.

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

Is this a falling star?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/04/2008 04:27:26 PM
Nice star trails!
Is that a meteor or an airplane? Looks like it has a blinking light so I'm guessing an airplane.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

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...).

What is the straight line going from the base of the tree to the top of the shot? Is it a satellite trail? It is sort of distracting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/04/2008 08:12:25 AM
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.

I like the airplain.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/04/2008 05:25:21 AM
The star trails are amazing, and the silhouette of the land makes it more striking
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Cool...is that a plane? Nice image!

a launch or a landing? What was that stright lined object?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/04/2008 01:34:18 AM
Everything is great except for that distracting line. Still a 7.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/04/2008 12:54:37 AM
I love the airplane beaconing across the sky.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/04/2008 12:50:23 AM
Caught a satellite during your exposure perhaps? cool!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/04/2008 12:15:13 AM
