Washington State Night Sky

I took this last night around 2am:

// ooOoOO you're getting artsy on us!

It looks like it could be right out of a horror movie
I LOVE IT!

Here is another one:



The moon was definetely bright enough last night for there to be a few werewolves out there!

lol.

very very cool.

How long was the exposure?

20 seconds. Here are the specific settings for the first shot:

Shutter Speed / Exposure Time: 20 seconds
Lens Aperture: F/6.3
Focal Length: 38mm
ISO Speed: 400

Here are the settings for the second shot:

Shutter Speed / Exposure Time: 25 seconds
Lens Aperture: F/6.3
Focal Length: 38mm
ISO Speed: 400

Just a little note is that I had to increase the ISO speed from 100 to 400 because it was so dark.

It really is bright, I love a bright night.

Hello-

I'm a member of the Seattle Astronomical Society, we are trying to fundraise for a dark sky site.

Could we use your photo on our website? I was cruising the web for a photo with a cool-looking night sky with foreground, and this looks great.



Let me know if that would be okay.

Thanks!

nice photo but what were you doin up at 2am?

nice...

pftt its that late

Nice photos. I like the second one, because you can see the stars better.

you already know this sir, but...

the second one is just a better composition all around. I love the cloud in the first, but the tree in the way really clutters it up for me. Both are nice shots nonetheless.
