Merry New Year!

 
Best wishes to everyone for the new year, lets make it a great one!
 
No new year resolutions, no promises to blog more photos, no wishes for anything .. just wishes for a great 2015.
 
Below is a moon rise I took recently on a trip out to photograph the Geminid meteor shower, which turned out to be too cloudy.  However the fast moving hazey clouds were great for this kind of long exposure.  Note - I think that was Uranus in the sky above the moon - but not sure without checking though.
 
 
ISO1600, 35mm, f/5, 30s, tripod, cable release, hot pixels cloned out (long exposure noise reduction disabled)
Okay, so I forgot to change my ISO after meteor settings!  Doh!  Noise is pretty good despite this, but lots of hot pixels.
Might have to go back to doing black frames to mask out the hot pixels if I do star trails again...
