Every year while visiting my parent's house, I take long exposures of the
Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. It can be difficult not to lose the details
in the top section of the lighthouse, while photographing it. I recently figured out a technique to help remedy that situation. This is almost an hour long
exposure. While the world rotates, the stars travel across the sky and
the end result has stars leaving a trail. If you look closely on the left side of the photo, you can see a meteorite trail that intersects the star trails. I missed a few spots with
my bug spray and the mosquitoes feasted on my ankles while I stood
there taking the shot. I used to get a little worried standing alone in the dark, but
I've done it so much that I rarely get spooked anymore. I am working on
getting a gallery up if anyone is interested in buying a print of this
photo.
