Default Nice First Attempt
I really like the use of the road and fenceline to provide perspective. Better watch out though. Now that you've started doing star trail photos you won't be able to stop

It looks good, never thought of black and white for these... Was this a single exposure or a stack or ??? Would like to see EXIF if possible. I seem to get a lot of noise due to my sensor heating, curious to know if you did this using film or digital, how you processed, etc...

Thanks,
Mike

Love the shot. We never get a chance for this kind of shot in Chicago.

Beautiful pic!

How do you do this? I'm totally duhh when it comes to it. Do you need a special lens? like how do you keep your shutter open for hours? I don't it! I want to see the EFIF data too, so hurry up and get home from work already! lol

I like the B&W idea also. Cool Picture. I'm guessing everyone wants you to leave work early!
