Paid another visit to "The Barn" over this past weekend. It was a perfectly cloudless night, but a brighter-than-expected three-quarter moon put a very quick end to any attempt at capturing the Milky Way, but it did light the barn up nicely (which was expected) and without the aid of lightpainting. This was shot using a fisheye lens, something I had been wanting to do since we discovered the orientation of this barn to Polaris (the North Star). The camera is pretty much dead-center on the barn, but Polaris sits just a tad bit off the exact center of the peak. Shot with consecutive 30-second exposures for just over two hours and stacked in Photoshop.
