I was awakened by my normally sweet little Cadence the other night, and while helping get her back to sleep at 2:00am, I noticed the clear night, and realized that I haven't seen the stars in a while. With it getting dark out so late, I'm not up to see them. I took the opportunity to set up a fish-eye lens, camera, tripod, and found a spot in the backyard where the least light pollution happens, but out of the horses pasture, since they'd be sure to knock over my equipment :) The Milky way galaxy line was clear, and I was amazed to have captured a shooting star in the last image... however, I didn't notice it until I was looking at the images on my computer :) These are 30 second exposures with the 16mm fish-eye on a Nikon D3s. God's handiwork always amazes me, and I felt a call of 'thanks' for my 'inconvenience' to have been awakened so early... God calls me at the strangest of times :) Two hands raised to my maker!
