A long timed exposure shot of star trails in my backyard. During the exposure, the camera also happened to pick up a shooting star – you can see it at the lower left edge of the frame.

Tonight, I took this picture of a spacecraft, a G. I. Joe toy from the late 1980s, and edited it into a starfield background.

This is a 10-minute long timed exposure that shows star trails crossing over my back yard. The real bright trail is Jupiter. Not bad for a 70 year old camera! The dotted trail was an airplane that happened to cross right through the middle of my exposure.

I photographed these stars earlier tonight. It's so peaceful under the night sky and I could stare at the stars for hours.
