Mississippi Night shots...

This past weekend, I worked down in Biloxi, MS and was able to get out and snap off some night shots. The moon was out and it was BRIGHT! With that bright light source, I was able to keep my exposures down to 30 seconds and below. So, keeping in mind that all exposures were 30 seconds and below, something perplexing popped up in one of my frames. Check out the following picture and notice the stream of light in the sky:

At first, I thought it was a shooting star, but it can't be. Shooting stars happen so fast that it wouldn't show up on the image (remember, 30 second exposure). So what is it? Could it be a satalite? A plane? Notice the pattern of dots within the streak...what's that? I blew it up so you could see it better:

Hook a brotha up....what is this?

Here are a few more pics from the weekend (hey Aaron, check out the treefrog...that's for you).

That's the most awesomest frog in the whole wide world!

The streak of light is an airplane. The dots of light in the streak are the flashing beacon on its belly. The rest of the light is either from its strobe lights on the wingtips or reflection from the moon.

At least that's my take.
