Often the never published subject of my late night doldrums, she gives me a look of "Damnit, you idiot, stop with this flashy thing in my eyes at 2am."

Lit with an AB400 pointed at the ceiling.

My first attempt at star trails. 30 minute exposure. Going to attempt 2 hours next time I've got a clear windless night.

1 Strobe
Processed completely in Lightroom 3.5

Success! I've got the process down a bit now and its just a matter of getting some better equipment and shooting from a darker location.

Yes, this was taken from INSIDE a house using my macro lens with many street lights and even a bit moisture in the air.
