Starry Pictures

September 13, 2007 · Filed Under photography 

I spent the first half of this week in Hilton Head. Each night the sky was clear. One could not walk onto the beach at night without noticing the overwhelming downpour of light coming from above. I grabbed the camera and the tripod and snapped the following pictures.

Here’s the first one. Probably over-exposed, as the stars are a bit exaggerated (54 seconds at f4 / 800 ISO).

Orion and Friends

The next night, I took these. First, a 46-second exposure looking out towards the beach:

Finally, here’s a 37-second exposure that I took looking down the beach towards a hotel:

More Hilton Head stars at night

Enjoy. If you have comments, please share them on flickr.
