This is the shot I have been trying and trying to get...I finally got it! I wanted to do this with Uluru so that stripes of stars would be surrounding the giant rock at night, unfortunately I've never held the shutter open long enough. This shot was taken using 100 ASA film (very slow speed) with the camera on a stand. The shutter was held open for between 10 and 15 minutes turning night to day but leaving behind a stunning array of stars.The second shot was taken pointing the camera straight up at the sky (and away from the moon which would over expose it.) You can see the milky way as a foggy patch running the length of the middle.

"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge." (Psalm 19:1,2).
(sorry Dave, I couldnt resist. The picture just matches the words too well)
Teehee. I guess they do! We plan to select somewhere around 20 of the bestest of the best photos to print and hang on the wall downstairs. Should be fun figuring out which ones they are! I'm thinking that eucalypt/star one is in there for sure!
