Stars and Barn - a photo on Flickriver

Stars and Barn

            This photo isn't what I had envisioned, mainly because my sense of direction was off as to which way was north. The composition I preferred was looking south so I had to change plans. Arriving before dark would have to figure out my composition would have been the smart thing to do.

I wish I would have done a better job of placing the North Star in line with the peak of the barn, but I wasn't about to walk around in a tick infested grass field in complete darkness, so I will live with my compromise.

I was able to catch a shooting star in the image (upper left).

This is about an hour long exposure, the barn and surroundings are illuminated by light painting with my flashlight.
