I'm really fascinated by the light painting technique in this video. Love creativity like this.

I can't believe you would post that!  Do you have any idea what that means in Arabic??!
 
 

That is really cool.  I've been wanting to dabble ...
 
SWMBO did this shot in Jellystone recently.  Kind of related.

Reminds me of "Lazarium" shows when I was a kid.  They were shown against the planetarium backdrop
 

Hi,
 
One of the pictures I have used many times for a background in my website was from Kit Watkins, the keyboard player for "Happy the Man" and one "Camel" album. It was a bit of "light painting", but in actuality it was a picture taken of a show they did, and the angle caught the reflection ... and it was a wonderful "light composition" ... and Kit went on to do some more of them as well, although it appears that it was by a friend of his, not him. Not sure about that part.

Tell Her Indoors that this is a fantastic picture... I've seen some pretty good night skies in the UK, but not where I live. I've got to get away from suburbia, and even then, I have never seen anything like that .
 
Best night time one I've got is this, so far:-
 

That's a nice shot, especially with the sky glow ... sharp focus is everything for trails

That was about a twenty minute exposure, taken in the Lake District. At that length of exposure digital cameras tend to struggle with "noise." My D70 (which I used for that, but has since broke), and now my D7100 has some internal software to try and deal with that.
 
I can't remember if I posted this here yet:-
 

 
Wasn't happy with that at all. When I checked the picture afterwards, there were a few stars in it, and they looked like a small line, which suggests either the camera moved slightly during the  five second exposure, or the sky moved. I'm guessing the former...
 
Best moon shot was this:-
 

 
I suppose I should apologise for hijacking this topic
