mistybleu - Apr, 22 2008 08:04pm I really love this picture. When I first saw the thumbnail, I thought you're having a laugh - it's just a black picture. But opening it up I can see the significance. That is one of the beautiful things about Namibia - the big open sky. krisek - Apr, 22 2008 08:04pm Thanks. I know, it looks really funny in the small format! :)) I had to time it right, as I did not want to show too much of the Earth's rotation. I think anything longer than 15 seconds ruins the shot... unless one is looking for a completely different effect...
