[Leica] Starry Sky Pano

[cummer at netvigator.com (H&E Cummer)]

HI Luggers,
Last night the usual clouds dissipated and the sky was a carpet of stars.
I set up the X Pro 1 on my sturdy Manfrotto tripod and shot a series of
5 second time exposures with the 35f1.4 at f1.4 with ISO 3200.

The resulting 4 panel pano is here:

It was shot in JPEG - only in camera long exposure noise reduction was 
applied - and then assembled
in CS5 with moderate sharpening.

Looking at the lights on the distant shore, on the left is the glow from the 
city of Victoria,
then in the centre the lights of the ferry terminal at Swartz Bay and to the 
right the
lights of the development at Arbutus Ridge.

Please look large. C&C always welcome.
