I thought it was time I tried some long exposure night time shots so when I was at our caravan it Wales I gave it a go one evening. The first three photos are the first attempt not helped by the moon which was over to the left in the first photo
After some attempts at different settings I managed a reasonable shot
I turned around 90deg for this view
The following week I was back again only this time I have bought a 16mm wide angel lens and the moon had not risen yet. I'm still unsure abut this one
This one in the opposite direction was a bit better
Trying to get the plough in this one but got a couple of satellites as well
So while I was trying for another view along the jetty a car came past and totally ruined the shot with light. By the time I took this it had gone but you can see the light over in the trees on the right. The lights had lit up something which you might be able to make out in the darkness

These shots are great. I guess I need to gut up and try some.
...I have never taken picture of the night sky that I was please with. Good job my friend!
I know I will have to get up for the Milky Way one I want to take
It's not the first time I have done this but the first time with my new Camera
I think you nailed it with the 16mm and no moon photos. You're lucky to have such dark skies. Well done!!
Very nicely done! I find it difficult to get good night time exposure photos. You have beautiful dark skies to see many stars.
These are wonderfully taken.
Thank you. I'm sure your photos would be better than the ones I take
Luck I was in Wales, it is not so good here
Thank you William
You got some good night shots, I must try doing that with my new camera but the skies always seem to be cloudy.
All these are wonderful photos with beautiful night sky captures. I really like this swan photo. Adorable!
Have a great day!
These are truly beautiful photos.
These are very good. I don't have the patience for starscapes.
Some great efforts and an unusual addition to the Skywatch theme. I've tried such shots and know how tricky it is.
Hope you have a tripod and it can take long exposures
The swan was a surprise and a happy one for the owners of the site, the built the platform for them
Thank you Robin
I do not do it often but it is fun
I have done it a few times now with varying results, tends to be a lot of trial & error. Would like to get on of the Milky Way next
Nice work Bill! I would have to get way out of Seattle to get anything like these photos. Daytime sky is one of my favorite subjects ... nighttime sky is a whole new challenge.
Thank you John, The photos were taken three hours drive away from where I live where there is more dark sky
I love night photography. Great job!! They are really wonderful! I really like the lake photo, the glow on the horizon looks amazing.
Thank you so much for linking up on Wandering Camera!

I have struggled with night-time photos - love yours! Joining you from the Wandering Camera linky party!
I do not do it very often but will be trying some more when I go back to Wales
Well Angie you are not the only one who struggles with them, It too a few attempts to get those but I will be doing more when I get a chance
