Fantastic! How were you able to get animated meteor trails with 30 seconds per exposure?   It looks like it's only a few seconds or less per exposure to capture the trails, animal on the cactus, etc....then again, I'm a definite rookie when it comes to long exposures.

Great stuff.

Thanks...those animated trails are airplanes and satellites. Airplanes usually take a few minutes to cross the frame, so they leave trails. Satellites take a few seconds to about a minute to cross the frame and leave a trail as well. Meteors streaking across the sky last only a few seconds and also leave a trail, however they only last for a frame.

^ Gosh, I hope that made sense.  :D

Gotcha...should have realized that one.  Blown away, great job!

So, the dolly/mechanism just moves über-slow so there is no blurring during the 30 sec exp?  NICE!

Oh MY!  That's fantastic !  How about a little Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon next time.  ::)

Yes, the dolly is slow moving.
