Star trail(er) trash

Taken on April 2, 2012

I have a yard that is four acres large. It includes several derelict buildings that tend to increase the mileage on the ride-on mower when you have to scootch around them. Photographing these buildings at night makes them look more romantic and less, well, "trailer trashy".
Note: Original title and description -- now removed -- put up to hack on my friend Ray. Who has a cool new camera but hasn't posted any images from it yet. :-(

I packed it all up and obtained an RGA from them and I'm sending it back.

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/mccormickphotography] Man, when Ray screws with you he does it all the way.

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/hongkongphotographic] It was only possible because he regularly acts so bi-polar that this type of behavior is typical.

84055047@N00 2012-04-03

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/mccormickphotography] And he knows it.

61180839@N06 2012-04-03

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/hongkongphotographic] He's about to know a few other things, too.

84055047@N00 2012-04-03

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/mccormickphotography] Like say, how easy it is to fit a 7D into a small cavity?

61180839@N06 2012-04-03

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/hongkongphotographic] That's too easy (especially when we know at least three of them will fit there).

*cough*

No, my plan is to take my game up several notches to the point where just looking at my work makes Mr. Asshat want to throw away his camera. Anything can be a full-contact sport, including photography.

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/photographi-ca] So, how long have you guys been married?

very nice work. is this one exposure, or did you use stacking software?

61180839@N06 2012-04-05

Stacked with StarStax. I don't like long exposures because my batteries invariably fail in the cold and I get nothing. With stacking you still have something to work with after the batteries gaak. I'll be darned if I'll bust my butt humping camera gear around in the dark (which always involves tripping in at least one gopher hole) without some reward later on.
