Star Trails to Horse Tails

PP by Picnic or whatever that is. A little nicer coloring I think. Although the processing brought out all the noise generated by the high iso. Oh well...

 

Went out side to try some long exposures last night and saw a pair of our horses standing on the ridge. The light pollution there sucks for star gazing, but worked out well for this pic.

 

Its fascinating that in 30 seconds, the stars moved more than the horse did.

 

30 sec exposure, ISO800, with the XSI kit lense.

 

I've been finding it difficult to see well enough through the xsi viewfinder at night to focus well. This particular shot was the best focused out of about 8 tries.
