Janet Brien's photos with the keyword: night sky

A few years ago, Steve and I joined our local photography club. One of the first monthly assignments was doing night photography, and I was really excited to try this out on my husband's 5D Mark I. My husband helped me set things up and I had lots of fun playing around with long-exposure images of the night sky. Here is an image of the Big Dipper withe the partial moon looking on.

[best appreciated at full size against black] Last night I helped Steve with a light-painting image he was working on out in our meadow, and the pictures he got were really amazing...at one point he stopped to take a picture of the rising moon and when he put his pictures up, I howled because his images both include the constellation of Orion! I've always wanted to take some night sky images so I was pretty envious to see these shots. www.flickr.com/photos/steves-visions/with/6834019113/ He offered to go out and help me take some of my own, and this is one of them! I hope you like it!! (two others follow this picture!) Today also marks a special anniversary for Steve and I. A year ago today, we stopped playing World of Warcraft forever. (we were total addicts for about 5 years) My, how things have changed!! I've uploaded two other images today and I hope you'll visit them too! Thanks to all of you who have visited and have left comments and favorites! I try to go to all of your pages within a day or two and is a highlight for me to see your beautiful photography! :) NOTE! I have finally updated my profile and I hope you'll take a look to find out a little more about me and how important all of you are to my experience here on Flickr! www.flickr.com/people/sfhipchick/ This image was taken on February 6, 2012.

[best appreciated at full size against black] Before going out with Steve to take sky images, I went out to see if I could get any intereting shots of the moon through the trees. I found an opening in a twig-filled tree and thought it might look cool...I did not expect to find a "twig web" when I looked at the image on my computer! :D This image was taken on February 6, 2012.
