Everything is Perfect in the Universe

It was Wayne Dyer who said that: "Everything is perfect in the universe, even your desire to improve it". Several weeks ago I was in the Twyfelfontein area of Namibia and took the above night shot of the nearby mountain which was lighted by the hotel lights and the dark sky. I was hoping to get one of those beautiful shots that one sometimes sees in magazines which include the Milky Way and the millions of stars that it includes. The best I could do was the above. I learned that any exposure longer than 4 seconds shows the stars as trails, and that one needs a "star tracker" to freeze the star in its position relative to the earth and the camera. So even though the above image is perfect for the tools I had to work with, I desire even more perfection in my image. Perhaps the next time I take night shots I will have the requisite equipment to show the Milky Way. In the meantime, I must be content with my less than perfect perfection.

Live well and prosper
