#1 is an oxymoron!
It's dramatic, yet peaceful all at the same time.
The water haze is so dreamy, it almost looks like the nesting place is above the clouds.
Fabulous stuff, Tony :)

And what a fabulous expanation of a photo! iKirst must be feeling creative tonight. ;)


The impossible has begun - another step closer - and I am very hungry for it.

i like the 3rd one the best - remember, sometimes when you try too hard, the photo doesnt reflect the extra work. preferrd some of last nights to the other 3

i might have completely misunderstood you, but doesn't the direction of the trail depend entirely on the camera's position on earth and direction it points at the sky relative to the celestial north or south pole (depending on hemisphere of locale) ?

yes

Some people need to take photos rather than yaking about taking them :p

Ok 1min exposures

Not feeling the first one, the blown out white in the middle is distracting.. the second one is much better imo.

That's why I liked it. The blown out areas make it look a little surreal.

#2 is great, also :)

It was the only bit of water that had no movement. It was a pool on the rock from the water splashing over it.
