Day 144: A Rare View

For the last couple of days I have seen the moon with a couple of bright stars around it. Tonight I looked it up and saw that the ‘stars’ that I saw were actually Jupiter and Venus. I wanted a shot, but the surroundings were very bright. I really love to see great photographs of the stars. Right now I don’t think that I have near the knowledge to get a good shot. I have been wanting to try star trails, but I haven’t been far enough away from city lights to give it a good go. Tonight I just decided to try and point my camera up at the sky to see what I could get. I really want to get better at this, but I guess I have some more reading to do before that happens. Of course I tried this handheld so I had to pump up the ISO. I really enjoy these kind of shots so it will be fun getting better at them.
