Dock under the stars

[Knawx]

Took this the other night during a meteor shower.

Sweetness! It'd be cool to see longer trails of the stars. Actually, never too long. I like the exposure though, it's perfect. Not sure about the ghost image though.

May I ask what you mean by "ghost image"?

Is that a satellite trail I see going from the top right to the middle left?

It was actually a meteor.

It was actually a meteor.

Are you sure? My first thought was a plane. It appears to have a consistant blink to it. I don't see how a meteor would do that.

No I totally agree, however it did streak by while I was taking the shot. Also this was during a prominent meteor shower.

I also think its a plane. Because of the blinking light and also because its just so long. I havent seen alot of meteorites, but the ones i saw werent even half the size of this one.
But i like the shot though

Actually there were some crazy meteors on this particular night. One of them lit up the area as if it was daytime.

pretty cool shot!

Cool man. What's the green glow on the dock coming from? Or am I seeing things?

All I did was a 2.5 minute exposure. I did bump the contrast in post, but other than that the dock turned out green all on it's own.

Ok, I think this is probably the shadow from you and/or the tripod, but it's quite visible.

Very neat image. The colors are wild, the sky is cool. Very very nice.

Too bad about the shadow on the right. Since it's symmetrical, you may be able to fix it with a reverse clone of some sort.
