Pinholes

Pinholes in the cloth of heaven, stars truly do declare the majesty of God.

Pinholes in the cloth of heaven

Tonight the tears of Saint Lawrence or as they are more commonly known, the Perseid meteor shower, climaxed. As I have not really seen a meteor shower, I wanted to be there this time. I hadn't adequately prepared, and did not get any pictures of the meteors, and yes I saw many tonight. Instead I settled for a picture of the star trails around Polaris. I had never really successfully taken such a picture and wanted to try my hand at it.

This frame was captured at f10 iso400 and a 20 minute exposure.
