Star Trails over Three Chimneys - a photo on Flickriver

            This was a fun shot to make.  Still one of my first attempts at star trails on my first roll of Velvia slide film.  These chimneys - the remains of an old farm house in Georgia are lit up at night.  To get the right exposure I had to do some running around covering and uncovering the lights with plastic bags.

Technical details:
30 minute exposure at ~1:00am. Ground spotlights were covered with black plastic trash bags and the six main ones were uncovered one at a time for 15 seconds.  
Taken with a Voigtlander Bessa R and Color Skopar 35/2.5C lens at f/2.5 focused at infinity on Velvia 100 slide film.
