Path to the stars

We had a powercut here yesterday evening so without anything else to do, off I went again to the local lake!

I tried that, but it just opened up in a new tab. Do I need to have the app installed.

 

[Mat0tam]

No just the Flickr website. Scroll down under the picture and it tells you the camera and settings.

Thanks, I shall try it again.

 

[fuzzyfelt30]

Thanks all.....and gremlin, it is at f2.2 because I was trying a few shots without the lens being wide open, to reduce the coma effect on the stars at the edges!

Wow fantastic shot. Envious of the setting.

Very nice and not over processed. Always a pleasure to see shots like this.

A power cut and someone is still shining a bleeding torch at you!

Love the shot though, so much for the eye to take in. I appreciate you were probably focussing on the stars at the large aperture so this was a by product but I prefer it that you haven't focussed stacked a second shot in with the fence sharp. I think the fence on the left being out of depth of field is spot on because it leads your eye in but does not detract from the main shot.
