Star Trails, pt 2.....



Stars swirl above a lighthouse outside Poplar Springs Baptist Church near Watksinville, Ga., on Monday September 7, 2009. (Ed. Note: The pink colors are sky-glow originating from Watkinsville and Athens while the greenish light is coming from a streetlight behind the lighthouse)

(15 minutes, 20mm, ISO 100, f/4, Nikon D700)

I enjoy a good star trail shot every now and again. This is a church outside of Watkinsville that i found while feature hunting. Sadly it has a green streetlight that doesn't seem to have a switch or anything that would easily render it dark.

It works but i need to find a much darker place to try and something to frame it over.

*** Edit *** This was picked up as one of the Associated Press' "Photos of the Day" or something of that nature. It was also posted on MSNBC's Photo Blog. And The Orlando Sentinel's Photos of the Day.
