The Sentinel

A new image from me... finally. And, it's one from the archives.

An arc drawn by the lights of a night flight and a satellite trail are the only human elements in this image -- sentinels sweeping by.

A 15 minute exposure under an almost full Moon, off the north coast of Sydney.

The slight mottling that can been discerned in the top right is the blur of the Milky Way as it rises from the east.

Monotone conversion done in Canon's mighty Digital Photo Professional, and final touchup in Photoshop.

Slightly larger version available here.

Canon EOS 5D Mark II, Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM
900s f/8.0 @ 17.0mm iso400

Comments, critique, etc., most welcome.

Thanks for looking.
