    June 26_27 2011. Summer startrail. Not many dark hours available in these long summer days, but even with a few hours of exposures (2300-0300hrs) the effects can still be stunning. This startrail framed around a nice foreground tree and lit painted with a few flash bursts during first few exposures. Approx 800 exposures total for this one shot. Captured with Oly E5 & 7-14mm. 15s exposures, ISO 500, F4 shot continuous through night. Final stacked composite produced with startrails software.
    June 26 2011. ISS is making its last few passes before it's orbital path departs UK skies. Very difficult capture tonight (2221hrs) due to ambient light. Had to reduce exposure time down to 1s & reduce ISO to 200. Captured Oly E5 & 8mm fisheye.
    June 22 2011. 2307hrs flyby amongst the poppies. This local field has exploded into life over the last week & I have been planning this location ever since. Shame about the cloud but fingers crossed I might get another opportunity before they all disappear. Captured with Oly E5 & 8mm fisheye.  Camera settings: 15s exposures shot continuous during flyby, ISO 500, F3.5.
