That's right people... this is my first ever attempt at anything to do with pointing my camera up and capturing something interesting
Location: My holiday house at Phillip Island - more visibility than anywhere I know of.
Canon S5 iS
4 x 30 seconds
Photoshop 7
Layered the pics, reduced the opacity to 50% on the 3 foreground layers and flattened the image.
Maxed out the contrast and minimised the brightness.
The purple smudge is the result of the ccd not being able to handle the firmware update I installed on to the camera.
Not using the firmware and using factory 15 second exposures will rectify this.
The alignment obviously needs work...
Not bad for a noob who has no idea what he's doing
