Night shots from camping last weekend

[mattb]

My wife and I celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary over the weekend by going for a mountain bike ride together while our son was with a sitter and then we all went camping at a favorite nearby spot. Weather was good but hot during the day. The air was a little hazy but for the shots I was taking it didn't hurt.
Here are a few of my favorite night scenes from Saturday night.

All shot with my Pentax K-5 & DA 15mm f/4 Limited lens









I also took 100 exposures using the Interval shooting feature of my camera to make this star trail shot. I stacked them with ImageStacker. I also got a satellite (on the left), a couple of planes (horizontal lines), and some meteors. Fun!

Thanks guys! It was a lot of fun.
There's a meteor shower peaking (Perseids) this weekend that I'd be out shooting if I wasn't going to a wedding in the city.
