Day 200: Stars...

Isn't this technically suppose to be a photo blog?  Giving it another shot, literally, to try and capture some good night sky pictures.  Still struggling with some technical issues.  The manual focus is a bit sketchy, especially using the Canon.  You'd think setting your focus to infinity would work but not so.  Got that little piece of advice from an accomplished night photographer. 

As with all things, good planning is the key.  This was a little spur of the moment (who gets up at 3:10 to take pictures??) and I really didn't have the best location.  I think next time I'm going to head up Baseline in Boulder and look for a spot with no ambient light but not so secluded that the bears aren't thinking, "DINNER!!"

Alright, more practice!!
