It's Not the Spotlight

Another venture into the exciting world of "Astrophotography." Not the best image, but it's sure interesting to try doing this and just have some pics even turn out as recognizable.

(Looks best on black.)

This is the view from our back deck looking down toward the big pond at 10pm Thursday. It's not the daylight and "it's not the spotlight," but the moonlight shining on the trees from behind me. This was a 15 second exposure that caught, what looks like, a jet flying over. When I viewed my pics in the camera as I was shooting they all looked completely dark. It wasn't until I did some editing that I could actually see what was there. Next time I will try some shorter exposure times. This is fun!

Rod Stewart from "Atlantic Crossing" (1975)

It's Not the Spotlight (written by the brilliant Gerry Goffin and Barry Goldberg)

Looks real good fun! A super result and the scene comes even more alive on black. Looking forward to seeing more "Astrophotography" :-) Love the musical match from Rod Stewart. I've got some of Rod's music but not the "Atlantic Crossing" album.....well, not yet :-) Thank you very much for posting to 'Sight and Sound', Karen.

Thanks, Roger. It's a vast field for sure. So much to explore.

I don't have this album either. It's one I should get.
