Post 5: Rims at Night

A week ago, the clouds finally cleared out, and we made last second trip to the Rims to get nighttime shots of downtown Billings and the stars. It took some experimenting, but we both got a few good shots. While the stars were very bright, so was Billings, providing plenty of light pollution. Next time, we will have to go further away to capture more of the night sky. I think next time, with a better location and a little editing, I can improve my pictures. This trip was a trial run.

 This one, I got a picture of Marina waiting for her shutter to close on her camera. My shutter speed for this one was 30 seconds, my ISO was at about 400 due to the bright lights of the city, and my aperture was at F14.

The settings for this one were the same. I was not able to capture all the stars, but the Big Dipper was very distinct, and my car was also shot very clear.
