North Star by orangecrush

North Star

Well, not really. I was standing under the flightpath and this is a shot of a plane coming in from the distance. I tried a long exposure on this but the pilot must have been drinking! The line was all over the place! :o)
Thank you for stopping by and leaving such great comments! Now I'm going to get back to catching up! :)
Killer shot Jerry. More inspiration for working on long exposures!

This is lovely but the balance feels uncomfortable. Can you move the horizon line?
January 22nd, 2013  
@swilde That's funny you say that! I fiddled with the horizon forever! It's dead on but the waves play tricks with your eyes!
January 22nd, 2013  
Wonderful!
January 22nd, 2013  
So dreamy. Nicely captured.
January 22nd, 2013  
Hahaha, or it was very very very windy up there! xD This is gorgeous and I love the crisp points on the "star" :)
January 22nd, 2013  
By the way, how did you get the light to have those points like that? I'm curious :)
January 22nd, 2013
