Best viewed large to see the startrails
15 X 30 second exposures (blended in PS so effectively a 7.5 minute exposure) of the clouds streaming over the Pinnacles in Gardens of Stone NP. Would have liked to have got more but it started to sleet.
Really interesting the way the clouds ended up radiating out from where the moon just happened to be when I just happened to be there to shoot it. I find rather beautiful coincidences like that happen a lot with landscape photography – weird but I’m certainly not complaining.
if you missed the first shot in this series it’s here
Also curiously the colour balance averaged out across the 15 exposures so less blue looking sky than the first image. In that one I had to stick with the auto colour balance or the clouds went really muddy coloured. Always trade-offs with photography.

You are so good at these Geoff…I bet the detail is brilliant with the 1 Ds Mk III
Thanks Max – glad you think so. Yes the 1Ds is very good with detail, plus it means you can crop away most of an image and still get a high-res section from a shot.

I love the little peek of blue on the bottom right of the clouds – didnt notice it at first. Wonderful shot – they are all so different and yes, you are the Man when it comes to this genre Geoff. Keep it up mate!
hehe – you are good at spotting the details Marguerite – I love that bit as well. Ahhh shucks – you’re a sweetie – but, pardon me “this genre”!!!???

Oh yes.. I bet you were jumping when you pulled this up from save as.. Beautiful work Geoff…
Chuck..
You know the process well – yes after all that “cooking” when the final image pops up out of the blackness of the screen it’s like what it must have felt like working on images in the darkroom. Thanks mate.
