Taken this past weekend. Woke up in the middle of the night and decided to go for a little hike and take some night images.

Nice - though the airplane is distracting. You're a lot more creative than I am in the middle of the night..:)

Arfing airplanes - makes you want to invest in a few Stinger missiles sometimes..

It's actually something going up or down from space, not an airplane. Probably would have cloned it out were it a plane. Once you know what it is I think it actually adds to the image.

I will post a crop tonight. Would really like to figure out exactly what it is.

Deffinately tough to get going in the middle of the night, but once you do I find it is quite inspiring.

I'm usually really annoyed whenever I wake up in the middle of the night. Great idea for turning an annoyance into something positive! It's a really nice shot!

love it!

I would only darken the sky a bit and maybe even clone out the clouds hanging in the middle.

Great shot!

I love that image and think that the streak adds something. Wish I had some fortitude to get up and out during the night to get some pictures.
