Star Trails (round 1)

Star Trails (round 1)

Star Trails (round 1), originally uploaded by billselak.

I took 34 different exposures, each at 30 seconds. In Photoshop, I layered these and changed the layer style to Lighten. The compiled image is 17 minutes. It's my first star trail picture; I'll try it again when the moon isn't full.

This is like those little wooden Russian dolls that fit inside each other... only with boxes instead of Russian girls, and there are ten boxes, and they have bright colors, and they are probably made in China. Other than that, it's exactly the same.

Dear Saturn,
Hi. How are you? I'm ok. It's been non-stop problems for you, ol' Saturn, since the freeway. I hope you feel better soon. I'm sad you're gone... mostly because my mom has to take me to work now. The people at the shop will fix you up real well. We'll see you soon.

Transmissionally Yours,
Bill

Looking out the Lillis' kitchen window. I love the way old glass distorts.
