Default Night Sky

Just been out getting a few shots of the night sky (it's really clear tonight, and bloody freezing!) This is the only one I liked out of the batch, taken about 4 miles from my house, looking back over the town...

Welcome to the DPS family.

Fantastic night time shot. I like the silhouette and reflection. I look forward to seeing more from you.

Thanks! Been lurking for a long time, only just plucked up enough courage to put my stuff online for the masses to see!

The roof of my car...

It was the only place I could get my gorillapod to stand up!

I'm pretty sure that's the trim around the roof of my car, it's easier to see on the full version, but is probably a bit distracting...
