"Maintenant, je désire presque le retour de la nuit polaire avec son monde féerique d'étoiles, ses fantastiques aurores boréales et sa lune lumineuse poursuivant sa course dans le grand silence de la nuit endormie. C'est comme un rêve, comme une échappée dans le monde de la fantaisie et de l'imagination. Il n'y a plus aucune forme, aucune réalité, rien qu'une vision d'un ruissellement d'argent et de violet planant au dessus de la terre".

No Photoshop trickery other than to use the automated process to blend the images. No filters. This is 150 images stacked to create a perfect circle of star trails.
How did I achieve this? By pointing my camera at Polaris (North Star). The North Star or Pole Star – aka Polaris – is famous for holding nearly still in our sky while the entire northern sky moves around it. That’s because it’s located nearly at the north celestial pole, the point around which the entire northern sky turns. Polaris marks the way due north.
By taking 150 images at 3 seconds apart and blend them in Photoshop, you get the rotation of the earth.

Well , I think it is a Polaris - a Polaris Ranger as far as I can guess . It might be the 2 seater or a 3 seater pick up , not sure which though . Not the best shot as I was walking along holding the camera at waist level and just pointed in the general direction and pushed the shutter button ! I was heading back to my car at the time - the Rifter in the background is mine ,

Viewed from another planet, the northern star it’s just one among many. But on Earth, it’s important. Because is fixed in place, like an anchor. No matter where you are in the Northern Hemisphere, if you face Polaris, you face the north. And You know where you are.
Still, there are many ways to get lost. by the choices we make. By events that overwhelm us. Even within our own minds. What could be our anchor then? What beacon can we turn to …which lighthouse to guide us from darkness to light?
Sometimes.. to our lives come people and events, that teach us and guide us..and this happens without you or them even being aware of what is happening...sometimes what it looks like pain and hardship, is not other than a beacon showing you a path to light and clarity...

This is a new version of www.flickr.com/photos/frame_maker/14299378563/ Using Photoshop, I added reflections of the boat, pilings, and sky. I just learned how to do this. I'd appreciate any comments on which version you prefer and suggestions for improviing the reflections.
Where I find beauty, others often see something that does not belong in our otherwise clean and orderly world, and must be erased. This abandoned tug boat, the Polaris, is officially considered a "public nuisance." It ran aground near Lone Tree Point in Rodeo, California on the night of April 14, 2013. Because the location was in the East Bay Regional Park District, the District issued a notice to remove the boat, but the owner did not comply. After weeks of negotiation the vessel was moved off the rocks to a nearby marina, D&R Marine. The vessel is now considered a "public nuisance" and the California State Lands Commission has been authorized to remove it.

Since there isn't a remote compatible with my old Nikon D50 (which took another tumble this trip...requiring another super glue fix), I use a rubber band and some chewed gum to depress the shutter release for these long exposures. I still had to process quite a bit of noise out of this image, but I think it turned out pretty nice for a 20-minute exposure.
RCAF CC-150 15003 in retro Canadian Armed Forces livery takes off from RAF Fairford. It had been on static display at the 2022 Royal International Air Tattoo.
Aircraft: Royal Canadian Air Force Airbus CC-150 (A310-300) Polaris 15003.
Location: RAF Fairford, Gloucestershire, UK.
On San Pablo Bay at the old Joseph's Resort site in Rodeo, California. I have photos of the Polaris as a working tug, but I'm told there was some sort of dispute over ownership -- and that seems to have ended with the boat being abandoned.
Last weekend I had the wonderful opportunity to wander around Dragon Con and photograph/interview costumed women for Refinery29.
Each year, downtown Atlanta is swarmed by more than 50,000 monsters, princesses, fairies, super heroes, and knights. Dragon Con is an annual convention dedicated to the most serious of the nerdy fan arts — cosplay, or dressing up.
I talked to some of the most decked-out fans. They told me about their costumes, how they connect to their characters, and why they love the Dragon Con community.

Beautiful clear night for the first time in a few days, so I braved the sub-zero temperatures and pointed the camera north to capture the star trails.
The Cotswold Escarpment is at the bottom of the frame, with the peak of Wotton Hill in the centre.
Here's another attempt at capturing the stars movement around polaris, under a full moon. This is the result of stacking 70 frames in PS, each frame is a 30s exposure at f/5.6, ISO1600, 17mm.
Aye, polaris - ye have gripped my heart with steadfast awe. Funny how the stars mean that much more after three months of not seeing them.
my first long shot of the night sky
I am afraid that's all what I get of my camera :(

So I know it's been a while since I've posted anything. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. It's actually been killing me to not have shot anything for months!
I've been busy trying to put a business together and it's taken all of my time, energy, and money to do so. There were other factors, as well, but we'll just leave it at that :)
This is downtown Jacksonville, again. I shot a similar image back around August or September, but I've now had a chance to experiment with star trail shooting and I've figured out a decent way to get the star trails in with a brightly lit subject. I have another image I shot the same night, and I'll be putting that one together shortly.
