Sheridan Lake during the Persied Meteor Shower--No, I didn't capture any meteor in this image. Several did cross the frame, but they were too faint to record  It was a lovely night anyway--stargazing has an amazing power to center me. I'm more relaxed now than I have been in several weeks. I did get a couple of images with meteors in them--pretty faint, but still...I'll post them later. The colors you see in this is a product of light pollution from Rapid City 25 miles to the northeast. Personally, I like the soft colors. I found it really interesting that the really bright star that made the trail near the 'V' in the hills was bright enough to reflect on the water. By The way--those floating docks are NOT good places to try to shoot long exposures (or anything) from  I very nearly went swimming after trying that very thing  Thank you for looking, commenting and faving    |

 reports, 1d 18h ago#ObscuredPhotos and #UnseenPhotography have teamed up together to bring you this photography contest! The overall theme of this contest is 'Life', but most importantly, your biggest reason why you love life. Too frequently are we met with complaints, arguments, sadness... and more in between, so we would like you to portray something a little bit more upbeat, happy; something that makes you smile and feel warm, inside. So, take a photograph of something that makes you giddy with joy, something that you enjoy, something that you may take for granted. Perhaps you can ask yourself what things you love in life, or what things you love about life, it's all up to you in how you interpret and portray this theme! 60 Daily Literature Deviations for March 11, 2010=DailyLitDeviations

How many seconds of exposure? And how do you get such a sharp composition with a long exposure?
Even if I use tripods, remote and ISO 200 I still get some noise...
Great job.

the exposure was 710 seconds or about 11 and 3/4 minutes. I use a wireless remote to trigger the shutter open and closed. It is a single exposure and not a stacked image. It does have some noise--I forgot to run it through my noise reduction program before posting.
You'll always have some noise in single long exposures but especially if you're shooting towards a man made light source I've found. Moonlight really doesn't produce that much noise.
About the only way to really reduce noise is to stack images in Photoshop--there is a free software that allows you to stack many shorter length exposure--like 30 seconds-- along with a longer base image of around 3 minutes or so together and make the star trails. In fact there are 2 different free softwares you can look at--this one might be a pretty good option as it is truly free [link] and then theres this one that will allow you to make 10 images at a fairly low resolution before 'registering' the software for $17 U.S. [link] Both are pretty good softwares and will allow you to really reduce the amount of noise in your captures. Like anything it will take some learning and practice.
I hope that helps you

I will surely try those softwares and let you know.
Your work is brilliant and I really hope to learn a lot from you.
